Dr. Craig Bennett, MD

Dr. Bennett and PA Michel spent time to meet with me and my wife to discuss options to improve my health today, and well into the future. The entire group, including Ms. Sherrie and medical team provided professional support and compassion throughout my surgical procedure. I am on the road to recovery with a much improved knee. My wife and kids will benefit from a more active father and spouse. I highly recommend Dr. Bennett and his team for orthopedic medical procedures.

Dr. Bennett and his team took time to explain all of my options and success rate in simple to understand language for each one when I came to him with a torn meniscus in my left knee. More importantly, Dr. Bennett himself responded to text messages on two separate occasions as he stated he would during my initial assessment. These factors along with compassion he provided me on surgery day went a long way with me.

Wow! Exceptional bedside manner. He is personable, kind and thorough. He really cares and it shows. He gets an A plus and a 200% from us. I am pretty judgmental and not overly confident is some physicians. He has my vote! Also, his front end staff was lovely. Super friendly and kind. Those types of gatekeepers are very hard to find. They’re typically rude and uninterested. These ladies were excellent!!!

I am a 29 year Lieutenant with the Baltimore City Police Department. Over the years I dealt with some serious line of duty injuries causing a torn acl which led to arthritis in the knees and eventually 2 knee replacements. Doctor Craig Bennett is the model of someone who should be in the healthcare field. Prior to the point of knee replacement Doctor Bennett had me on all kind of pain relief injections so I can continue in my career. Upon the pain becoming unbearable Dr Bennett and his staff scheduled my surgeries and were at all times available for any questions I might have. Dr Bennett went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable before going into these traumatic surgeries. Both surgeries were a huge success. Without Dr Bennett in my corner I might have procrastinated and still been in pain now. After surgery Dr Bennett and his staff recommended me to a wonderful rehabilitation facility and ensured everything was progressing smoothly. Nothing but praises for Dr Bennett.

I had seen several doctors prior. They kept giving me injections which wasn’t helpful at all. I was referred to Dr. Bennett by my boss at the time, her daughter worked for the UMD. He came highly recommended. I had my first partial knee replacement done in 2007. It is now 2023. I haven’t had any problems. I still go to Dr. Bennett for all Ortho issues. I am waiting to have my other knee done. I really admire the fact that he not only listens to your concerns, he take pride in making sure the concerns and issues are taken care of to the best of his ability. The office staff are always friendly and courteous. I must say because he comes at such high demand and does surgeries it can take a while to get an appointment. But it is definitely worth the wait.

Dr. Bennett took the time to explain all available procedures and made sure I understood each option. He spoke clearly in terms I could understand and thoroughly answered all of my questions about pre-op, surgery and recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Bennett.

I was referred to Dr. Bennett by a family member. I've been dealing with knee pain for years. Dr. Bennett is clearly experienced in his field but, what was surprising, was how well he listened to me. He took his time and reviewed several treatment options instead of just pushing surgery. He ended the appointment by making sure I understood my options and offered me multiple ways to contact him should I have any more questions. I don't know any doctors that show this much compassion. Dr. Bennett cares about his patients and wants to make sure their treatment is successful. My condition has improved significantly all thanks to Dr. Bennett.

We have used Dr. Bennett's services on three occasions. Once for out teen son's football thigh injury and for two knee replacements. Each time the scheduling was easy and accomadating. Dr. Bennett was clear in communicating the diagnosis /treatment options for both our son and my husband. He patiently and throughly answered our questions. His treatment of our son resulted in a full recovery though the injury had been exacerbated by inappropriate treatment from another practitioner. The knee replacements, one last year and the second this year, have been very successful too. Dr. Bennett educated us about what to expect in terms of the surgical procedure, possible complications and recovery best practices/outcomes. Dr. Bennett came out immediately after the surgery to inform me of how it went. It was such a relief. I was grateful. Overall Dr. Bennett's medical skill, investment in comminication and educating us and caring personality made these very serious life events successful.

I am a 57 year old female that had an ACL surgery in September 2021 with Dr. Bennett. All aspects of my process for this surgery have been exceptional. I cannot have asked for a more thorough consultation before the surgery, and Dr. Bennett did an amazing job with my ACL reconstruction. There is almost no scar at all, and my outcome has been great. In addition, his office has been responsive whenever I had questions. I can compare this ACL surgery to a prior ACL surgery on my other knee years ago with a different doctor and nowhere close to this good of an outcome even though I am much older now! I am considering having Dr. Bennett re-do my other knee as I have so much confidence in him. I highly recommend Dr. Bennett!!

I was referred to Dr. Bennett by a family friend that had seen him for an ACL issue. Dr. Bennett took his time with me, explained what was wrong and presented options. One of which was surgery. This procedure was done today, and all is well. Time will tell for the results. Dr. Bennett explained everything to me before surgery and then to my wife once he was done. Looking forward to excellent results.

Dr.Bennett's Calm and Confident demeanor was very helpful to alleviate my apprehension regarding my impending surgery. He was personable, acknowledged my concerns, and answered my questions with care and compassion. Cheers Dr. Bennett to the successful outcome! Wish you many blessings to continue your good works! Peace..

Referred by a co-worker. Excellent bedside manner. Really listens. Didn't feel rushed-for once. Highly recommend for any orthopedic problem.

Been dealing with a shoulder problem for years. Finally got the courage to do something about it. neighbor referred me to Dr. Bennett. First surgeon I've ever met that wasn't all about cutting me open. Great listener and asked questions that I didn't even think were relevant but now I realize why he asked them. Gave me options and recommendations based on what outcome I wanted. Clearly knows his stuff!

Dr Bennett takes the time to get to know your concerns and makes you comfortable. Let's face it, nobody wants to have surgery. Knowing you can trust that your doctor has your best interests at heart makes it much easier to face. I have no complaints about his bedside manner or taking time to address my many concerns. Thank You Dr Bennett for making a difficult time much easier.

I saw a string of doctors before being referred to doctor Bennett. He was the first doctor to actually do something about my pain! He helped turn my life around. He is a great doctor who cares about his patients. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need.

My son was injured playing basketball. Did my research and made an appointment with Dr. Bennett. He confirmed what I feared-torn ACL. Explained his technique for repairing and how he considers the age and sport when deciding the best type of surgery. He doesn’t look at each patient or injury as the same as someone else. I liked that approach. Had no trouble scheduling surgery. His staff were very communicative as was Dr. Bennett. Surgery and rehab went great. I think my son’s knee is better than before. Also, Dr. Bennett gave me his cell and actually called me back on a Sunday evening when I had a question.

Dr. Bennett took the time to explain my recovery clearly and make sure I knew what I needed to do to get health and stay healthy

Dr. Bennett was clear and honest when telling me all the options for my knee. I am already had the 1st surgery with him and will go back for my next one!

I am thoroughly satisfied with Dr. Craig Bennett's surgery performed on my knee. Thank you, Dr. Bennett, for your very much appreciated and attentive physician care.

Avoid Dr. Bennett like the plague. I have to have surgery to repair the work he performed.
