Dr. Henemyer has been my personal primary care physician for years now. Not only is she knowledgeable, professional, and thorough, she is a warm and caring human being. She has been able to understand all of my medical needs on a level that I’ve never experienced with any other doctor and has guided me into testing and treatments that have literally changed my life for the better. She has always given me her precious time and nothing ever feels rushed or forced with her; she always pays close attention to every detail and doesn’t miss a thing. Over these years she has grown to be more than just my provider but someone who I can feel has become more like my family. I’ve referred her to many friends and they have had the same experience of her, and someone everyone loves. It’s no surprise that she is rated as one of the Top Docs in our area. She’s the best!

Dr Henemyer reminds me of the way medicine USED to be! She sits down and actually LISTENS and truly WANTS to help and heal! She was very knowledgeable about my condition and came up with ideas to help that other doctors hadn't thought of. I am so glad I found her! Highly recommended!
