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. Bentley is walking backwards out of your room almost as soon as he walks in. Did not care to find out what was causing severe nausea and vomiting after an emergency trauma surgery. Wanted to send me home in that state unable to take any of my medications, or do anything. Assumed I just wanted morphine. What a joke, I never even take acetaminophen. His attitude caused more stress that the accident did. Horrible physician! Worst part of my stay at Skyline, Nashville TN

He is arrogant, rude & judgmental. I first saw him when I was suffering severe pain in my stomach and had lost 30 lbs due to constant vomiting. He blew me off due to one of my medications being a drug typically used for opiate withdrawal and assumed that I was a drug addict. Despite all of my symptoms, he told me that I was merely constipated and needed a good laxative. About 2 weeks and 20 more lbs later, a different doctor found that I had a severe intestinal stricture.
