Really nice experience for what I thought might be a little mortifying, or degrading. They all made me feel very comfortable and understood and answered all my questions and concerns.

The staff and Dr. Henke we’re awesome. Just waiting on the pre-approval for my insurance. All my communication prior to the appointment was quick and information was throughly provided.
Verified patient
Dr. Henke was very attentive, thorough, and explained everything to me! The staff was so nice and answered some of my questions. I would recommend him as a 10!
Verified patient
Potentially this was the most embarrassing doctor's appt. He's a bariatric surgeon and I was sure he was going to tell me I'm fat--as though I didn't already know that! Dr. Henke did nothing of the sort. He listened. He advised. He was kind and approachable. I will send all my fat friends to him. He's awesome!
Exactly as expected, very straightforward, everyone attentive to my appointment, and the follow-up that I needed. During the covid era, being in any doctor's office is discerning, but they have it completely under control.
Verified patient
Dr. Henke answered all of my questions and was very thorough in explaining the different types of procedures he performs . His staff was very helpful and answered all of my questions about insurance and payment options. Overall, it was a good first appointment and I'm glad another medical professional referred me to Dr. Henke!
Verified patient
my appointments with Dr Henke and the staff there are always pleasant. Has an issue with accounting but the lady at the desk was very accommodating and instead of having me wait she said we will get with them and will have it sorted out when you come back. It was sorted out when i cam today
Verified patient

Great job!!!
Verified patient
Excellent! Seen immediately. Zero wait time. Thorough in questions and complete explanations given. I felt very comfortable that Dr. Henke was there for me and I was not "just another patient". Highly recommend. I'm an RN and would not hesitate in recommending.
Staff-was very friendly & expedient. Dr. Henke--very patient & gives direct attention. He is personable, calming & listens to you. Encourages & supports efforts of success. He responds to non-compliance by giving helpful tools & suggestions to utilize in making success attainable.
I love my surgeon. He's very concerned about me (patient). He cares about my progress. He has a very professional yet personable manner. You looking for a great weight loss surgeon Dr. Henke is very knowledgeable. Great surgeon & Doc.
Dr. Henke has been taking care of me for 1.5 years, following vertical sleeve gastrectomy. He is an excellent surgeon, and is attentive, thorough, compassionate, and encouraging in follow-up care. He is actively engaged in post-operative support of his patients, which I believe is critical to success for bariatric patients. I have recommended Dr. Henke with confidence to family members and friends, for both bariatric and general surgery.
Dr. Henke is one of the most compassionate physicians you will ever meet. He truly cares for his patients and is willing to spend "extra time" when needed. If someone is thinking about bariatric surgery or just surgery in general, he is the one to see! With me having worked in the medical field for 30 years, I am very proactive when it comes to & the care I receive. I live 3 hours away from Dr. Henke's office and even though I could see someone closer, both my husband & I trust him immensely. You will not be disappointed.
