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.

Dr Benson seems knowledgeable based on his experience but unfortunately we didn’t even get a chance to witness that. Every question asked was followed by him ranting on his opinion, versus answering the question and helping me determine the best care for my child. I would not recommend.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Benson Jr?
We liked Dr. Benson until we told him we weren't sure we wanted to have all of the vaccinations being recommended. Without being open to a discussion, he went on a 30 min rant, saying derogatory things about a poll dancer who shouldn't have an opinion about healthcare, repeatedly told me to find another practice and assumed that because I had questions about them I also automatically think everyone in favor of them is harming kids. He did this in front of my 11yr old kid. We just wanted info.

He is very knowledgeable. Over 25+ years of experience. He has seen both my kids and now my grandchildren. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and he addresses them with ease and confidence. He is by far my favorite pediatrician.
