Dr. David Henderson

Dr. David Henderson grew up in the Washington, D.C. area. He graduated with honors from Brigham Young University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology. After earning his MD degree at the Medical College of Virginia in 1981, he completed residency training in OB-GYN at Duke University Medical Center in 1985.

Dr. Henderson joined Dr. Gary Haakenson here in Raleigh in July 1985 and has practiced at Rex Hospital since that time. He is board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a member of the American Medical Association, the North Carolina and Wake County Medical Societies, North Carolina ObGyn Society, and The Bayard Carter Society. He currently serves as vice-chair of the Rex Hospital ObGyn Department and is the principal investigator of the Cord Blood Bank at Rex Hospital.

Dr. and Mrs. Henderson have five children -- three married daughters and two sons. (In addition to liking kids, he learned that they arrive free when you're an Obstetrician!) The grandkids have also begun to arrive. In his spare time, Dr. Henderson likes to bicycle, windsurf with his wife and white-water kayak with his sons. He actively serves in his church and is a Scout Master in a local troop.
