Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Dr. Bender has been my dermatologist for many years, and something unusual came up and he was able to get me in very quickly. I trust him implicitly and I'm sure the course of treatment he has provided will ensure things clear up quickly.

I always enjoy my visits to Dr. Bender. He takes time to explain things, seems interested in my issues. I have been going to him for several years and have no complaints about him. It can be difficult to schedule appointments with him. I've been on hold for an unseemly amount of time and have not always had the best customer service from the front desk. No issues with Dr. Bender or his care, though.

Went to see Dr Bender, my regular dermatologist, about some growths. As always he was the perfect combination of warm and professional. If every doctor had Dr Bender’s combination of expertise and ”bedside manner” going to see a doctor would be a pleasure. And let’s not forget the front of the house: equally as welcoming and professional as Dr Bender. Great group and a truly outstanding doctor!

I had not seen him for over 3 years. Dr. Bender was friendly, interested and efficient. He explained his recommendations very well and performed the liquid nitrogen treatment without a delay. I was very satisfied with his care.
