Biography

Dr. Henry is a board-eligible orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulder, elbow and trauma surgery.

Dr. Henry became an orthopedic surgeon because she earned a master’s degree in muscle physiology and was intrigued by the musculoskeletal system. Upon entering medical school, she was fascinated by surgery and enjoyed using her hands. Dr. Henry believes that orthopedics offers near-immediate gratification as she sees the effects of her labor when fixing a broken bone.

What sets her apart is her exceptional training and how she interacts with patients and improves their quality of life. Dr. Henry is committed to helping patients return to the activities that make their lives enjoyable.

Outside of orthopedics, Dr. Henry enjoys cycling, photography, traveling, scuba diving and cooking.
