Dr Hendow took extra time with me to insure all my many health concerns were dealt with. I was actually amazed that she asked about problems other than what I was seeing her about and sent me to those doctors as well.

Dr Hendow is absolutely wonderful! She really made me feel heard and understood in my back pain. I was referred to her by a friend after a really awful experience with another physician. Dr Hendow took her time with listening to my concerns and the examination. She ordered an MRI and when results were in, yikes. My pain finally made sense. We did a round of physical therapy, an injection, and now we are scheduled for a fusion. My favorite things about Dr hendow are that she doesn't have the typical "doctor" energy. She wants you to feel comfortable and every appointment I've felt like I was just chatting with a friend. She was extremely accommodating of me needed to bring my son to a couple appointments and even interacted with him and showed him various spine models. We love Dr hendow!!

Dr Chelsea Hendow has been an exceptional person in her skills, knowledge, and her personal attentiveness to me as an individual. I have been dealing with back problems for most of my life due to two accidents and have already had four surgeries and getting ready for my fifth and hopefully final. Dr. Hendow has been so in tune to my needs and I believe truly cares about me as a person and my overall health. I would recommend her to anybody who needs the care and support for themselves or their family.

Hello I'm Gregg Dexter. My back surgeon was Dr. Chelsea Hendow. She was referred to me by Dr. Nicholas Abidi of Golden State Orthopedics and Spine in Capatola,CA.
Dr. Hendow specializes in spinal fusion surgery.
Prior to to my three (3) disk spinal fusion surgery, which was done on July 9, 2024, I was experiencing progressively worsening pain in both of my legs and lower spine. I found that I couldn't walk any distance without having so much pain I had to sit down to relieve it every 70 feet or so by sitting down for several minutes.
I had an MRI taken, and it was found I had a progressing scoliosis impinging on my lumbar vertebrae which was the cause of my pain.
Now, after only three (3) months I can again walk, without assistance from my wife, a walker or a cane. I can now walk with comfort, on the unfinished paths of the Del Monte forest, on of the beaches I live near and on any sidewalks.
Dr. Hendow's demeanor is warm and open; she is a good listener. Prior to surgery, she went the extra mile to rule out other causes leading to my spinal condition.
At all times I was informed of the surgical process and length of time to heal. She reviewed all tests and answered all questions

I have been seeing Dr Hendow for almost 2 years now for serious back issues. Dr Hendow is my favorite kind of doctor; she listens intently before asking a lot of questions; she is thorough and detail oriented; and my favorite...listens to my concerns/thoughts/suggestions about my situation, while carefully guiding me to solutions that are collaborative and leading edge. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Hendow for any back/spine issues you may have.

Dr Chelsea Hendow was extremely efficient and thorough in analyzing my neck and lower back issues.
She didn't hesitate to refer me for MRI's to further analyze these problems. Chelsea also referred me to a local Rheumatologist for evaluation. I appreciate her sincere concerns and timely response to my needs!

I had to wait a while to see Dr. Hendow because she had a leave. But I am so happy I waited. With some spine pain she ordered an MRI. When the results were available she took plenty of time to show me the MRI pictures and explained the results of the MRI. She answered all my questions. Dr. Hendow is very knowledgeable, and caring. She suggested we start conservative with physical therapy which has a good chance of making me better. She will take very good care of you. I would give her six stars if they were available.
