Testimonials
"Dr. Henshaw spent a great deal of time with my daughter and me explaining her diagnosis of her knee. He was also very clear in explaining what he was going to do during her surgery. He answered extensive questions about her rehab and recovery. She will have her procedure tomorrow and we couldn't feel more confident with him judging by his resume and also the experience that we've had with him thus far."
"Dr. Henshaw is the only Orthopedic Surgeon I have felt comfortable with. Very kind and patient and takes the time to answer questions. Felt the same way for both surgeries, a clavicle and a labrum repair. My son felt comfortable and healed very well. Unfortunately, he might be having another surgery due to another sports injury. Definitely going back to Dr. Henshaw!"
"Dr. Henshaw is my guy — Amazing! Despite a second opinion from HSS in Manhattan, I opted to go with Dr.Henshaw (who trained at HSS). I had such great results on my right rotator cuff that I didn't hesitate to have him do my left rotator cuff, both shoulders requiring a substantial amount of re-structuring, and both outcomes great. Add to that a truly caring and engaged demeanor, and Dr. Henshaw is your guy."
