I have been a patient of Dr. Gwendolyn Henao's for quite some time now and I have nothing but great things to say about her. She is nothing short of amazing! Dr. Henao is not only highly skilled, but she is also extremely supportive and kind. She never pushes any of her recommendations off on you, she simply just gives you the information you need to. She is ever so patient when asking questions and I always have many. I have never had anything but wonderful results with her and her treatments. I am addicted to her skin care line too! You must see Dr. Henao if your desire is to see the best doctor

I had a visit with an urgent care that same week and was asked by Lori to bring in my records and it was emphasized how important they were and how helpful they would be. At my appointment It was apparent that Dr. Henao did not read my paper work at all. Dr. Henao did a lot of talking and was a horrible listener. Dr
