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.

I agree with so many of the comments above, especially around listening, taking time with his patients, and fighting insurance companies on the patient's behalf.

Dr Benson has been my physician for over 20 Plus years. He’s everything the doctor should be and more rolled up to one. He’s honest with you he explains things he listens intently to what you’re saying. He will do research for you while you’re in the office if he’s just an all-around great doctor. He doesn’t sugarcoat it he doesn’t make it to be more or less that it is he shoots from the hip. I trust my health to Dr Benson and he’s never been wrong. If you need an excellent her family care doctor Dr Benson is the only doctor I would highly recommend

I have seen Dr Benson since 1988. I have found him to be attentive, honest & intelligent. He has been more than willing to fight with insurance companies for procedures,tests etc in my favor. My wife as well as a lot of my friends also see Dr. Benson and when anyone asks if I can recommend a doctor, Dr Benson is who I recommend!
