Dr. Henderson graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine where he achieved an academic scholarship and honored multiple clerkships including Internal Medicine and Psychiatry. He achieved placement at Yale for residency where he worked closely with Yale faculty associated with the VA Medical Center's weight loss program MOVE. His work culminated in a presentation at Yale Grand Rounds. He completed his Internal Medicine residency and board certification in 2009. Following residency, Dr. Henderson continued his work in the field of weight loss. He volunteered for the position of Physician Champion for the MOVE program at the VA Medical Center. As a leader in this field, he helped many patients achieve weight loss and diabetes remission using strategies gleaned from his studies.

From his time as a fifteen year old Eagle Scout through his many endeavors as a mentor and volunteer, Dr. Henderson brings to the practice of medicine a unique set of experiences centered in leadership and serving others. He looks forward to serving Frederick and the surrounding areas, and to helping those in the community achieve enhanced wellness in the present and the future."

"We would like to enhance the wellness of those without chronic disease and prevent the development of chronic disease. Many associate an absence of disease with wellness or being healthy. While this is a good start there is more to it. Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. We would like to make enhancing wellness and preventing chronic disease more affordable and attractive. There is no need for you to pay for services you don't need. Most patients should not have to pay any additional fees to our clinic other than the annual membership dues. Most patients will not experience the need for phone consultation after hours, home visits, or in-office procedures so why pay for them?
