Dr. Hendrick enjoyed understanding the anatomy of the human body and found interest in the intricacies and attention to detail found in plastic surgery. His strong work ethic, superior academic achievements, and driven personality allowed him to successfully match into the most competitive field of medical training. Dr. Hendrick continued his training at the Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

Dr. Hendrick received training in all areas of plastic reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, including pediatrics. In his chief year, he was awarded the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Resident of the Year Award for his compassion for patients and their families, as well as his dedication to the field of plastic surgery. During his training, Dr. Hendrick was particularly drawn to the hand and upper extremity. He enjoyed the mechanics and functionality, along with the precision required to perform hand surgery.

On a personal note, Dr. Hendrick and his wife, Dane, both New Orleans natives, enjoy spending time with their three children, Russell Anthony, Marian, and Genevieve. Together they enjoy relaxing amongst family and friends, traveling, cooking, and cheering on the Tigers and Saints.
I cannot say enough good things about the amazing team at NOCAPS and Dr. Hendrick.
