Es muy buena, atenta y amable
I highly trust her experience
Dr. Hennessey is an expert in clubfoot care and has an outstanding practice. I trust her and I know that she cares for our child. Thank you, Dr. Hennessey!
Our first visit went well and she really listened to us. However on the second visit she spent like 2 minutes in the room and didn't explain anything. The nurse had to go find the doctor and tell me his care instructions for the next 4 weeks after the removal of his cast now that he would be in a boot.
Thanks for helping our little one! We appreciate you and your care.
Dr Hennessey is the best! We highly recommend her. She is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner.
The provider was very quick to go through the x-ray results and was quick to tell us that we only needed a cast and no surgery was needed. It was a fast visit, but very efficient.
She was very sweet and reassuring
Dr. Hennessy is wonderful. My son was very fussy during our visit because he very easily receives sensory overload. Dr. Hennessy was very kind and showed compassion-something I rarely feel from the many doctors we visit. She quickly provided the information needed for the appointment since it was clear my son needed to get home. Dr. Hennessy provides quality care as well as being highly understanding of different people's situations. I wish more doctors were that way.
Five. Stars for Dr. Hennessey. We are grateful for her care, and have loved her as a provider. I've worked in healthcare for a long time. There are a few physicians this good. A+.
Dr. Hennessey and her team are incredible. My son and I have always felt comfortable and taken care of. Im confident in her abilities to fix my sons clubfoot and to explain everything going on to me.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Hennessey. She is personable and so good at working with my child. She cares about her patients and their families. She is a very talented doctor who does her best to help every patient.
Dr. Hennessy made me feel like [NAME REMOVED] was the only patient she had. I know the clinic is busy, but I felt true empathy from her. I felt like she listened to any questions I had and took the time to explain the answers to me thoroughly and made sure I understood what was being said and what our options were. I also witnessed an interaction between her and who I would assume is her nurse, Tyler. The doctor was trying to cut a piece of wood to make a wedge in my daughters cast, and Tyler said, "Can I show you some thing that makes it a little bit easier?". Dr. Hennessy said, "Sure!". he showed her an easier method of steadying the wood while cutting into it. I appreciated seeing how well they work together and how receptive she was to ideas and help.
Our daughter has been seeing Dr. Hennessy for club foot since she was 3 weeks old. Dr. Hennessy is skilled and knowledgeable and has a wonderful bedside manner with children and their parents. I have appreciate how kind and caring she has been since day 1. She is also always willing to answer questions and provide recommendations. I'm grateful to work with her. Our daughter is almost a year old now and you would never even know that she was born with a club foot.
Dr seemed I a hurry. I have never had a child with a broken arm before. She answered my questions but seemed distracted
Es muy buena ortopedista y su ayudante .me gusta su trato. siempre dando lo mejor de ellas gracias por todo
Dr Hennessy came into the exam room looked at the X-ray explained she would need a cast for 5 weeks non weight barring and then in a walking boot. Then said she we would cast it. I assumed she was coming back to help with the casting. I just was never able to ask her questions or did she indicate that she would not be returning to the exam room. For being a specialist she spent less than 5 min in the exam room, didn't touch or look at my daughter's leg and did not answer any ofmy questions. I appreciate not having to wait for hours at the appointment but some bedside manner and actually seeing the patient would have been nice. Customer service like this in an other profession wouldn't be tolerated, especially with such a price tag. After the visit I read reviews with similar experiences it sounds like the Dr could really use some extra guidance or training.
i wish they had discussed a cast instead of a boot or explained how the boot would be better.
Dr Hennessey is amazing!
I'm so glad we transferred my daughter's club foot care to Dr Hennessy. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and is a great fit for us
The Dr. Seemed in a rush and didn't even ask if we had questions which I had a lot of. When I stopped her to ask my questions she was very good about answering them. Would be nice if the dr would ask for questions before racing out of the room.
She's awesome. Listens and is empathetic.
