Dr. Peter did an exceptional job on my face. He carefully removed a cyst about the size of a blueberry and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire procedure. His attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding. The aftercare was excellent as well—he personally removed the three stitches from the side of my face and ensured everything healed beautifully. I highly recommend Dr. Peter for his skill, knowledge, and genuine care for his patients. Thank you, Dr. Peter, and your wonderful team for such a great experience.

Dr. Henderson and his team took really great care of me - they answered any and all of my questions and responded to emails in a timely fashion. I felt they genuinely cared about the procedure I was preparing for and understood all my fears and concerns . The outcome was great ! The one issue I did have on surgery day was that I was asked to come to the hospital 1/2 hour early which was no problem at all but proceeded to wait for nearly 6 hours from the time I arrived. I felt the timing could’ve been a bit more patient friendly. I do understand that circumstances are unpredictable but that was the one downside of my entire experience. The anxiety builds when one has to wait long ! Kudos to the entire team !

I had my breast reduction done by Dr. Peter Henderson almost a year ago. My experience was a very positive one. From day one at my consultation, I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Henderson and all the staff that I interacted with, including Xiomara who guided me through the process and answered my concerns and questions thoroughly and with grace. By the time the day came for my surgery I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be because of the quality of care I had received thus far. Initially the most uncomfortable part of the recovery was the anesthesia and sore throat and then after that just general incision pain that was alleviated with Tylenol. While the drainage tubes were very uncomfortable towards the end of the two weeks post-op, they were very important in the healing process overall. I recently had a family member undergo breast reduction and they did not use tubes and she had a very difficult experience. What I found helpful was wearing a tank top to keep the tubes close to my body while moving around. Nurse Aljenica who tended to my post-surgical care was amazing along with her bedside manner. Once the tubes came out, I felt like a new person. Compression tank tops were extremely helpful and allowed me to move about without pain. This review would not be complete without mentioning the outstanding skill that Dr. Henderson has in breast reconstruction. It has been a year, and I am incredibly pleased with the outcome. I feel great and what is most important is that the constant neck pain I was feeling is completely gone. Thank you Dr. Henderson.

I loved going to Dr. Henderson. If you’re trans and need BA, definitely schedule a consultation. My experience was very pleasing from consultation until surgery and after. I am very grateful and satisfied of my experience and results. Very natural looking and feeling as I asked, the results look exactly like I wanted. The whole team was very professional. Dr. Henderson was so nice and informative. Xiomara and Aljenica were also a pleasure to work with during the whole process. The team at the hospital was very nice as well that all my nerves were calmed down closer to surgery time. After care team was Amazing as well. I’m recovering nicely, absolutely no pain or issues whatsoever for me. And I am 3 weeks post op now. All I experienced was soreness after surgery and nothing a Tylenol can’t help with. You definitely have a very satisfied patient here, all across the board!

One word I would describe him is a “Genius Surgeon” Surgery on March 24, 2025 was utmost caring, professional, humble and great experience. He made sure from beginning to end of surgery I was cared for with so much love. I want to also thank his entire team. I will never forget the utmost care I received from him and the team. Thank you Dr. Peter Henderson.
