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.

Love her
Very kind funny, and she does not play. Straight up and will tell you what you need and also refers to great doctors too, if need be.

Superior care from Dr. Benson and all the staff.
This was a very professional experience from a caring doctor and staff. I would give it an A-plus.

My wife and I have seen Dr. Benson for 20 months or so and could not be more pleased with the care we have received from her. She is very knowledgeable and always takes the time to explain the processes and the options to us. Also a very warm and pleasant personality. We would give 10 stars if we could!

Dr Benson is totally amazing. She actually found that I would benefit better from cataract surgery of both eyes then increasing the strength of my contact lenses or glasses. The results I will only need readers on occasion. She is very knowledgeable in her field and is unafraid to tell you the truth no matter how hard it might be. She is very compassionate about her patients.

I was seen by Dr Benson by a referral from my physician. I found her to be very knowledgeable and easy to speak with. While talking with me, she apparently suspected something and examined my eyes. Not only did she discover that my recent eyeglass prescription by an optometrist was wrong, but also advised that I had cataracts. Dr Benson exceeded my exectations.
