In one of my most traumatizing experiences in the past 10 years, I recall having severe kidney and lower back pain. I was unable to move or find a suitable resting position for approximately 18 hours. Only walking or standing upright provided any form of relief. I was able to call Dr Hendrick on his after hours line. He quickly provided me treatment options (ice packs, heat, positions to… See more
I am a nurse at our local hospital. Twenty two years or so a new young doc showed up in our ER, he approached me at the nurses station to ask me questions regarding protocols at CHOMP. This is short for Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula located in Monterey Ca. I could tell he was a kind caring doctor , and he would be an asset to our aging doctor population. Shortly after that… See more
This is one among many instances in which Dr Hendrick responded quickly and effectively to health issues affecting my wife and/or me:
I’ve been battling a respiratory illness for a few weeks. Late on a Friday night, well after normal business hours, a coughing fit sent me into unconsciousness and convulsions. My wife reached to Dr Hendrick for advice. He responded within minutes,… See more
Just wanted to thank Dr. Dennis Penner for the over 25 years of care for me and my family. Always made himself available for us and took great pride in his practice.
He will be greatly missed.

After being with MDVIP for at least 10 years, I feel blessed to now be with one of the best doctors in Monterey County. Dr. Hendrick is the doctor I should have started with as my husband did so long ago. There is nothing like having a doctor that you can truly trust. Dr. Hendrick is the best. There is nothing better than knowing that if you go to the hospital or the ER for any reason, your… See more
Dr Hendrick has been our family doctor for over 30 years - when he came to Monterey my in-laws were the first to have him as their primary physician after that my husband and I started using his practice. He is one of the best as far as I am concerned - he is very courteous and makes you feel at ease and easy to talk to. Very concerned about your health and always ready to see you sometimes… See more

I would like to recognize Dr. Michael Hendrick for his tireless efforts to improve my health. Under his care I have had a few high risk physical incidents (severe Kidney Stone pain) which he was able to provide guidance and recommendations for my care outside of working hours. He has also taken it upon himself to find a very good weight loss solution that fit my lifestyle. I look forward to… See more
Super wonderful doctor - he was our family physician (including my in-laws) for over 20+ years - we had to leave his practice because of our financial situation. But things got better and now I am able to reconnect and can't say how much I appreciate his expertise. So friendly and caring - and his office staff is super nice always smiling. Great office, AWESOME doctor.....
Dr. Mike Hendrick is the most thorough, thoughtful physician I have ever had. He takes time to actually listen and involves the patient in health decisions. He is patient but also let's you know where you are falling down. He is always prepared for our appointments and remembers personal health issues that help make better health decisions. His office (and Tara) is always on top of… See more
