Dr. David Benhayon, MD

I saw this doctor for 2 years and through nearly a dozen medication combinations. None of them worked.I understand that some people's conditions are treatment resistant, but I just don't know if he did a good job choosing meds for me. He stuck primarily to antidepressants and only tried a mood stabilizer with me once -in conjunction with an antidepressant that gave me bad side effects. I have type 2 bipolar, not regular depression.Then he said the problem was probably actually physical. So he referred me to get extensive blood tests to try and find physical reasons for my fatigue. I initially refused because I was afraid of the cost, and because I figured my problems were purely mental and the tests were unnecessary. But he said it was important to check and that it would be affordable. Now I'm dealing with a 1000 dollar medical bill after insurance for these blood tests that uncovered -as i predicted- nothing physically wrong with me. So now I'm mentally ill AND in debt.

My child was having issues and Dr Benhayon was excellent it was difficult to find the right medication but he never gave up and now my child is doing well.

Listens, thoughtful, caring.

My young child has been seeing Dr. Benhayon for almost 2 years. I drive over an hour for appointments, because we like and respect him so much. He has an excellent bedside manner. He always makes it a point to talk to my child first for at least a few minutes, before redirecting the conversation to the adults in the room. We have never felt rushed during an appointment, and he takes the time to listen to our concerns. He has given us appropriate referrals for counseling and testing.

Was not helpful in recommending medications for my child. No counseling provided, staff eager to collect payment for visit. Best interest of my child was not displayed at all! Dr has timid, Very quiet personality, no interaction with patient. Would never recommend this Dr to friend or family.
