Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

- October 8, 2022 Dr. Henson is the BEST! He listens, explains procedures and shares his concerns and opinions. I was diagnosed with colon cancer in January, met with Dr. Henson and he got me in to perform my first surgery within a week. His after surgery care has been unparalleled. He had concerns about the care plan from my oncologist and they discussed his concerns and a new care plan was formed. (Which I believe shows tremendous care and caution from BOTH providers!) Dr. Henson has always leaned toward caution when it comes to my healthcare. I would highly recommend him above any other surgical provider to everyone! Go see Dr. Henson!!!
