Dr. Hendon was my mother's specialist. She had wonderful bedside manner. She truly cared for my mother. Her warm smile always made the office and hospital visits pleasant. She explained things in a way we could understand and she always had time for questions. Her educational background is also impressive. I liked her office staff as well. Every time I called for an appointment or had a concern, I was treated with respect.
I thought I was in good hands when my former PCP sent me to Dr. Hendon after 5 months of uncontrollable blood pressure. She got on the ball with testing, and then just stopped. She kept me on a blood pressure medication for 5 months that made my symptoms worse. I kind of had to argue with her that she take me off the medication. It was making me tachycardiac upwards of 145. I kept asking for my heart to be tested. I was told I was young (in my 30's) and my heart was fine. Turns out, it wasn't, and hadn't been this whole time. I never had hypertension. I have takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and if I hadn't gone to the ER last week, I hate to think how much longer I could have had. I was in the hospital for 6 days, after they discovered the takotsubo cardiomyopathy. They spent time finding the right combination of medications and made sure I was actually ok before releasing me. I'm going to heal and be fine in 90 days to 6 months. And my left ventricle is at 30% but it will heal and get stronger. Don't settle for a doctor who doesn't continue testing, especially when no blood pressure medication they tried ever worked. It would go up instead of down. Now my numbers are perfection and I'm so thankful to the staff at Parkwest and Dr. Rahman for saving my life. Seek second and third opinions. Be your own advocate. Don't just settle when you were healthy and active prior to all of this. And if the doctor won't do the work and your life is sheer agony, move on. I am, and I couldn't be happier.
