Integrative Medicine Services in Conway, AR
As a dedicated physician, I founded this practice to bridge conventional and holistic medicine. With over two decades of experience since completing my Family Medicine residency in 1998, I combine evidence-based practices with natural therapies to address complex health challenges. My approach prioritizes functional medicine principles, focusing on identifying root causes of chronic conditions rather than merely managing symptoms. Recognized with the Resident Teaching Award during my training, I maintain active engagement with medical advancements through conferences on both pharmaceutical and natural treatment modalities. My clinical focus on conditions like fibromyalgia, mast cell activation syndrome, and autism-related disorders stems from both professional study and invaluable patient insights.I actively share knowledge through patient education, medical writing, and my published work exploring chronic illness connections. Our practice supports patients seeking comprehensive care for multi-system inflammatory conditions, offering personalized treatment plans that integrate the best of modern and traditional medicine. We maintain strong patient partnerships, recognizing that healing often requires collaborative exploration of emerging medical understandings.

Report
Expensive as Dr Hendricks does not take insurance. But if you schedule an hour you get an hour. Never talks down to you. Best listener I have encountered in the medical profession in Arkansas. Recommended for women's issues and autism. But she gets lots of patients who fall through the ridiculous amounts of cracks in a profit oriented medical system. Strong knowledge of ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia. She formerly ordered blood work through Conway Regional but no longer does so.
This apparently limits her to kit testing. Otherwise I would give five stars. A true functional/integrative medicine doctor. Helpful if you have a pcp willing to work with her. She researches your issues. Something I cannot say of the cattle herding allopathic system. Offers anything that she thinks might help you. Tends to prescribe few medications.
