James W Henneberg, MD

I have been going to Dr. Henneberg for just forever and like his calm manner and the fact that he takes the time to listen. He has delivered 3 of my nieces/​nephews and was very kind and helpful when my granddaughter had a bad experience with another doctor — I took her to Dr. H. for a consult. Staff is helpful.

Note to Zozo’s Mom: Honey I’m 52, was married to a neurosurgeon for 16 years which means that I have quite a bit of familiarity with physicians, in particular, surgeons. Far from a cry baby, I’ve had breast cancer and went through treatment and and multiple reconstruction surgeries without missing a beat. I had no complaints at all when I went to see him, the visit was routine. I can recognize a doctor who does not need to be taking OB call or new patients, he was cranky and ill-​tempered and just wanted to move on to something he’d rather be doing. I’m sorry, if you cannot treat all of your patients with a modicum of respect then you shouldn’t be practicing. I wouldn’t have cared if he had answered his phone while with me as long as he was kind to me after he was done, which is not too much to ask in my book. I’m sure he was fine to deliver your kids 20 – 30 years ago and it’s great that he’s your buddy. I’m sure he’ll be fine to perform any procedure the «old school» way, but I prefer my physicians credentialed and MUCH more recently trained, so that they are up on the newest techniques in the OR and still have a passion about medicine and a dedication to all of their patients. When you start to act like he did, it’s time to think about hanging it up.

Dr. Henneberg is a wonderful doctor, however, if you are a complete cry baby (female) about every issue that you encounter in your physical life (from a health standpoint), then maybe Dr. H isn’t for you. He has been doing his job for 30+ years, he gets it, he has seen it all. You are not the only woman going through menopause, or having a baby, or having an infection, or feeling sad or blue. EVERY woman does! If you Unilocal that you «Hate him,» you seriously are going through menopause and you are just bitter. This doctor cannot be hated! And, he is allowed to answer his cell phone at anytime during an appt! He delivers babies for Christ Sake!
He is «matter-​of-​fact,» extremely knowledgeable, gets the job done. He is not going to cry with you nor is he going to hold your hand through the process. Time to be a big girl and follow his instructions if there is an issue and you will be fine. He is well connected, he has all of the answers and if he doesn’t he will point you in the right direction.
I guess I should qualify my opinion, I’m 47 years old, mother of FOUR (ages 24 to 4 years old), he delivered my youngest daughter. I have had four C-​Sections and Dr. H performed my my Tubal Ligation.
Great doctor! Smart man! Not a weirdo! But again, he won’t cry with you. He will help you if help is needed.
He is a father, husband, doctor, etc…
Read his credentials! He has been practicing since 1984 with zero legal complaints.
End of story!

I love Dr. Henneberg! He delivered my first and will deliver my second. He has wonderful bedside manner and is always patient in answering my questions. We had a bit of a scary delivery (so I’ve been told) with my first and he was so calm and collected that I didn’t realize that things were problematic until much later, after the baby was safe and sound.

Dr. Henneberg is a wonderful doctor!!! After not being happy with my two pervious OB’s I was so happy to find him. He took his time to talk to my husband and I in his office before we went into the exam room for the first visit, which I really liked. You can tell he values family and loves babies. He was very knowledgeable and caring during my whole pregnancy. Honestly the whole group of Doctors there were awesome. The office staff was nice and helpful they help u with any paperwork that needs to be done to help you stay stress free. Becky his nurse is awesome too :) I feel very grateful to have found such a wonderful practice of talented caring medical professionals. They will have me as a patient for life :)

Dr. Henneberg has been my OBGYN for over 20 years… he is in a league of his own. He truly exhibits calm and will go above and beyond for his patients! He saved my life and the life of my baby years ago and did it in a way that I had no idea it was happening! Love him and Becky! I do have to say that I am dissappointed with the lack of care of his new afternoon nurse. She does not match with this Doctor. She is rude and unapologetic after having me wait 45 minutes and leaving my sample in the bathroom for that long as well! Very unprofessional! But, I will only schedule in the AM when Becky is there from now on.

I just had a visit with Dr. Henneberg, my youngest is now three years old. I can’t emphasize enough what a great doctor, Dr. Henneberg is. I have recommended him to four of my friends, three who he delivered their babies and they all love him. I can’t believe anyone would say he is not caring. He is the only doctor I have ever known that I would recommend 100% without any reservations!

As the daughter of a local beloved doctor in town, I’m quite picky when it comes to selecting what doctors I see myself; either my father the doctor approves their office or I don’t go there. My mother currently sees Dr. Meyers (who only takes Medicare and you have to submit to insurance later) and Dr. Macer delivered both me & my older sister. We have a long standing relationship with the doctors in this office, so even though it was going to be awhile to get in and see Dr. Meyers or another female for my annual exam, I had no qualms about meeting with Dr. Henneberg.
After getting weighed (it showed I lost 2 pounds!) and leaving my urine sample in the restroom, Dr. Henneberg’s nurse (who I SWEAR I’ve seen before although I can’t remember when) showed me back to the exam room before calling me into the doctor’s office to have him ask me a few questions prior to my exam. He was gracious and kind, totally putting me at ease even though he was asking me some pretty personal questions. I went in to the little changing room to put on a very soft cotton gown before my exam. During the actual exam, I felt completely comfortable with him prodding around «down there», as he let me know before he started and what he was doing. His nurse was in the room the whole time.
Because I filled out all my paperwork online and they only needed my driver’s license & insurance, I was in and out in 45 minutes. Amazing :)

I don’t normally find myself liking my doctors. They do their job in a competent manner, I’m good. But Dr. Henneberg is really likable. He’s got great bedside manners. He’s efficient but always answered all of my lists of questions. Calls me with test results. Delivered both my kids and I felt well taken care of. Staff is nice and his nurse Becky seems like a happy person. All in all, a doctor I actually like!

I left the practice 22 years ago only because we moved out of the area. Dr. Macer was my primary OB with both my pregnancies but Dr. Henneberg delivered kidlet #1 and both Dr. Macer and Dr. Henneberg delivered kidlet #2. Kidlet #2 was born with a rare congential defect along with a few other problems. Their care during my pregnancy exceeded all expectations. They both made me feel comfortable as I was dealing with the unknown. There was no internet in those days and I thought I was the only person on earth dealing with my situation. The referrals I received prior to deliver were top notch. Today kidlet #2 is a college student, going through life as a typical young adult. Whenever I have friends who need recommendations in the Pasadena area, I immediately give them the names of these doctors. THANK YOU!

Dr Henneberg not only served me well and completely, I have recommended him to two other women who have had fabulous surgical results. They have commented on his kindness, his pre-​appointment meeting to answer any questions or concerns, and his respect towards them. I had a hysterectomy and recovered well enough to gingerly travel to Chicago two weeks later. One of my friends had a partial hysterectomy, the other went to Dr H after having two doctors insist on a hysterectomy. After seeing Dr H who countered this advice, he did some repair work on her collapsing vaginal area and she is completely functional and healed. I appreciate his open mind and willingness to state medical conditions clearly, even if it might mean some extra surgical complexities to make it ‘right’. He’s a terrific doctor and person, and I am proud to recommend him to anyone.

If there were more stars, I’d give them the maximum! Yes, they are excellent! My daughter is 21 and if not for Dr Henneberg, she would not be here. I had multiple miscarriages and was referred to him. Not only is he patient, he has great bedside manners, always makes sure my questions are answered before saying goodbye on my yearly visits and yes, after 21 years, he has always been this way. The most caring, gentle physician I know. The other specialists he has recommended have all worked out well. I have my yearly blood test there because they have an on site lab technician there to draw your blood instead of having to go somewhere else to have it done. He personally calls me up each and every year with the test results. He has all state of the art equipment and his nurse has been with him for as long as my daughter was born. As for the negative review, I would just disregard it. They are one of the most prominent groups in Pasadena and even the nurses at Huntington tells me that.

Dr. Henneberg and his staff are THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I have been with him for over 15 years. Three children and a few surgeries later, I stil drive over an hour to stay with him. I cannot emphasize how knowledgeable, caring and perfectly wonderful he is! I highly recommend him!

Henneberg is a knowledgeable doctor but not very caring. He has always made me feel silly when I ask questions.
It’s my first pregnancy and I’m in my 6^th month and feel completely alone and unaware. All the information I have is from reading and doing research.
I was in risk of miscarrying and had to call repeatedly to get test results. It was awful.
His staff is terrible and unfriendly. It always takes a long time to get test results from them and trying to speak to him on the phone has always been a challenge.
Going to my visits is always an unpleasant experience.
Also you have to make sure you keep proof of paying your co-​pay. They tend to charge you again.
I’m looking for a new doctor

Be very careful of Dr. Henneberg. He called me on a holiday and told me he thought I had cancer and needed to have a hysterectomy immediately. I was scared to death and booked my surgery that week. After the surgery I found out that my operation was totally unnecessary and I should have had further testing. Dr. Henneberg made a mistake and completely changed my life. I believe he operated on me just for the money.

Dr. Henneberg and his colleagues delivered our 2 kids. Very caring and calming practice. Can’t say enough about them. They only take PPO, but that’s because the HMOs try to tell them how to be doctors. It may be pricey, but well worth it.
