Services
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that specializes in the Musculoskeletal System. Orthopedic surgeons implement both surgical and nonsurgical expertise to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders. We are able to evaluate and treat almost any problem or pain involving both arms, both legs, and the entire spine, including fractures.
Almost everyone experiences back pain at some time in their life. There are at least seven or eight possible diagnoses for these symptoms. Very few physicians are knowledgeable about how to sort out what is the cause of the symptoms. Without an accurate diagnosis it is not possible to properly treat the problem.
Osteoporosis is a silent affliction where bones become thinner and weaker over time. Though usually painless, it often leads to "fragility fractures". Fragility fractures of the spine are especially painful and can occur without any trauma. Other common fragility fractures occur at the hip, shoulder, and wrist.
Fractures call for specialized care to help the affected bone heal properly. At Oakland Orthopedic in Pontiac, Michigan, Bruce Henderson, MD, offers specialized care for orthopedic fractures of any bone in the body except the skull. If you or a love one suspect you may have a fracture, find out how he can help by calling or scheduling a consultation online today.

My experience before & after surgery is I'm unable to show enough gratitude & provide enough apples for Dr. Henderson & snacks for his office.
After being fit in life & the U.S.A.R. I never imagined being unable to walk & breaking down to needing hip surgery! Dr. Zimerrick wouldn't do my surgery w/my health issues, but Dr. Henderson did & I'm regaining health & strength.
Currently I'm rebuilding & Dr. Henderson is monitoring my progress. His staff is friendly
& accommodates w/my appointments & supplements. This is a winning team.
Thank you all - sincerely,

I have been in a rush to get things done lately. Unfortunately I injuried my foot in process. I can always rely on getting in to see Dr Henderson. I was given excellent care with diagnosis and recommendations. Dr Henderson and the staff are always gracious and kind. Thank you for seeing me before holidays.

The staff at this office is very rude. I called to make my son an appointment and she wanted to know why he wasn’t calling then proceeded to argue with me about why I was calling for him and if he was disabled or not hung and up on me. I would not recommend this office to anyone. I don’t understand why was it any of her business to begin with. I was just making an appointment not asking for any information which would violate hippa laws. In fact I would be the one giving her information.

Dr. Henderson has been invaluable to my quality of life for many years. From diagnosing my eventual six back surgeries, to performing an upcoming hip replacement, I trust him with my life. I cannot imagine trying to get along with all my life's unexpected physical issues without his wisdom. He is a strong follower of Jesus, as I am, and I know exactly where he got his special talents from, Him. He is a wonderful human being and I know him as a person who cares deeply for his patients.

I have spoken with over 50 Orthopedic doctors about my unique hip problem and Dr. Henderson was the first to explain there was significant risk
with getting a total hip replacement at my age of 74 and that I am better off in not getting the surgery and enjoying my current good standard of health and activities.

You MUST see this Doctor!!! Awesome!!! Dr. Bruce Henderson is extremely patient. He will take extra time to listen to all of your complaints, questions, and concerns.. I love this Doctor!!! How many doctors do you know that won't try to rush you through an appointment? Your answer is probably is "None".
He will give you his life experience after over 30 years in the business, he will recommend treatments and will suggest options and will let you determine what you want. Like some Doctors say, "this is your only option", not true. Question the doctor because it is not just one answer to any question

Dr. Henderson and his staff always listen carefully to my issues. During this visit I received an injection for my tendonitis, which really helped my sore shoulder. I also received medication for my sciatica. I feel 100% better now than when I did before my visit. He accurately diagnosed my condition and prescribed the perfect treatment. It is so great not to have a sore shoulder anymore and to be able to walk without the pain of sciatica. Thank you, Dr. Henderson!
