I've been a type 1 diabetic for 20+ years. When we moved to the Franklin area in 2006, a colleague recommended Dr. Hendrix, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a fabulous doctor on the first try. I'm incredibly picky about my endocrinologists--the judgemental, rigid schedule-imposing, unhelpful ones are fired quickly. Dr. Hendrix, on the other hand, is warm, helpful, understanding, and listens. Plus she's smart as a whip. She also is willing to try different approaches to helping you solve whatever your current blood sugar problem is. (there's always one, isn't there? sigh) I love that she views her patients as partners in their care, not as slightly dull-witted people who can't understand some of the complexities to managing blood sugar. Dr. Hendrix is thorough and when I had an ER-worthy low blood sugar, she is the one who figured out that I had forgotten to undo a change of setting on my insulin pump, by walking through the boring but crucial list of questions about pump settings. But even then, she didn't make me feel stupid, though I certainly view that as one of my "stupid diabetic tricks."
