For Rhonda Justice of Milford Center, trusted friends are her go-to source for great advice – from the latest restaurant finds to the best walking spots for her Goldendoodles. So, when one of them recommended a new family doctor, Rhonda didn’t hesitate to make the call.
Her choice was Kevin Henzel, MD, with Memorial Primary Care | Scottslawn. Rhonda researched Dr. Henzel’s MDVIP program and was impressed with the thorough health offerings. After an initial consultation and comprehensive wellness exam, Dr. Henzel met one-on-one with Rhonda to share her results – she had several concerning indicators within her blood test results, signifying the risk of heart disease.
Based on these results, and Rhonda’s family history, Dr. Henzel ordered a calcium score test. This test helps visualize the buildup of plaque, cholesterol-containing deposits that can clog your arteries and slow blood flow to the heart. This can increase a person’s risk of heart disease and ultimately, heart attack and stroke.
Rhonda’s results showed significant plaque buildup and reinforced Dr. Henzel’s earlier suspicion of heart disease. The duo went to work immediately to modify Rhonda’s risk factors and begin lifestyle modifications.

“I was shocked how one test could impact my entire life,” shares Rhonda, “but I am so happy we conquered it early. I appreciate having this one-on-one relationship with Dr. Henzel that allows me to reach out with questions, and he always sends me an immediate response. Beginning my MDVIP program with Dr. Henzel is truly the best advice I have ever taken.”
