Judson & Patricia Henderson

Board Certified Family Practitioners shedding light on U.S. healthcare system issues and offering knowledgeable solutions

About Judson & Patricia Henderson

For close to 50 years, Judson and Patricia Henderson have personally observed and evaluated many changes in healthcare delivery. Many of these changes have brought great benefits. However, even though the United States has the nucleus of the greatest healthcare system in the world, there are warning signs of problems that present a huge threat if not corrected. As healthcare insiders, the Hendersons are qualified — and feel obligated — to shed light upon several of these issues and offer solutions based on their extensive professional experience. To receive a notification upon the release of their forthcoming book, Don’t Necessarily Trust Me, I’m a Doctor, please contact the authors here (terms of use conform to BookTrib’s privacy policy).

Judson has conducted peer-to-peer seminars on fair and accurate medical billing and coding procedures for physician groups throughout the United States. He continues to write about and promote preventive medicine through a website and blog he is developing with Patricia, his wife and professional colleague of 50 years. They have three children and three grandchildren.

The Hendersons’ website, TrustYourMD.com, will be launched soon.
