I sent off my imaging to Dr. Henderson and he personally called me on a Saturday to discuss my findings. He said, “I see the problem, we will work on a solution, and don’t you worry, I can take care of this.” His office called me first thing Monday morning to get me in to see him.

I felt like the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders, after having seen numerous physicians, of all types, over the past few years. None of them could provide a definitive diagnosis.

As I approach my upcoming surgery, I am at peace and have no worries, because I know that I am in the best hands.

God has put an amazing, brilliant man on this Earth, who not only understands the complex things that are going on in me, but who is very capable of fixing them.

One Family’s Journey . . .

For almost two years we searched for a diagnosis and treatment for our teenage daughter’s constant headache, dizziness, insomnia, joint pains, weakness, and inability to walk more than a few steps at a time. Her symptoms came on quickly, taking her from being a dancer and top student in her class down to being unable to walk or attend school. Thankfully, we were directed to see Dr. Fraser Henderson in June 2009. He correctly diagnosed and surgically corrected our daughter’s spinal abnormalities, as well as her Chiari malformation.

Today, she is dancing again and just graduated from high school at the top of her class. In the months since her surgery, two more of our four children have been diagnosed with the same genetic condition and have both had successful surgeries performed by Dr. Henderson.

We could not be more pleased with our experience with Metropolitan Neurosurgery Group.

Dr. Henderson,

Three months out of ACDF surgery and one month out of my osteotomy fusion, I was able to hike the woods and watch my daughters tube the creek! Two months after the osteotomy I was able to walk the beach in Ocean City with my family again, something I have not been able to do in 5 years!

Thank you!

[Dr. Henderson] has a kind, compassionate and generous heart. He possesses a great deal of empathy for not only his patients, but their families as well. His medical knowledge is quite amazing, and he looks at the patient as a “whole” rather than just one specific part … He is truly an exceptional doctor and person.

Dear Dr. Henderson,

First I would like to thank God for sending one of His angels from Heaven to help those who can only be helped by such a special person. Second, I want to thank you for your skill and expertise in removing my Tarlov cyst and tethered spine. You have relieved me of such awful pain. I have been to many doctors and pain centers, through different procedures and treatments that were supposed to relieve the pressure and pain in my lower back, but were unsuccessful.

After you performed my surgery, I am gradually getting my life back. I pray the Lord will bless you continually for there are many others that can only be helped by you. There are no words that can express my thanks and gratitude. You are truly a Godsend.
