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.

Complete arrogant stuffy dr who barely spent any time with us. It appeared he did not want to be in in the room with us. He couldnt even remember why I was in his office. In fact, he left the appointment before my visit was complete. It appeared that others were being treated as well, on my bill.

Dr. Bengtson is the best. He is caring and understanding. I will go back to him in a heartbeat. He cares about his patients and explains things to you that other doctors do not.

Dr. Bengtson was my husband's cardiologist in the later years of his life. He was very supportive and helpful to us. I describe him as an all-round doctor. I think he could have gone into any medical speci alty. He tended to treat the whole person and to do it well.
