Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Poor Exam
Ben is a PA. His exam with me consisted of him say my bloodwork looked good and he didn't know what he could do for me besides give me a refill on my Rx. He did not examine me at all and his follow-up notes on my appointment were a repeat of the appointment I had 6 months previous, including stating there was no new bloodwork. This was my 3rd appointment with Ben and they've all been similar. I will not be returning.

Does not listen
Ben did not listen to my issues. He took an a1c test and immediately went into pharmaceutical mode. He didn't even look at the labs I had done. He has NO "bedside manner" The only time he was the least bit pleasant was the time a PA in training was in the office. She was very attractive and he was trying to impress her. He was attentive and a little talkative, for about 7 minutes. He is awful!

I found Benjamin Prohaska to be very easy to talk to. He was straight forward with his assessment. I liked that he sat down and explained the new medication and how to give insulin. He put me at ease.

Ben was unable to understand pump data coupled with data collected when I checked in. He was confrontational. Would not listen to me. Then said he would not help me with the highs from Kenalog. When told which pharmacy to use he sent prescription to wrong pharmacy.
