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.

The Best Doctor You Could Ask For
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Benson for many years and he has watched me grow up and continues to support me and my health. He is very easy to talk to, fantastic listener, and builds trusting and meaningful relationships with all of his patients. When I see Dr. Benson I always trust and know that I am in GREAT hands. He is an asset to Mayo Clinic.

Personification of the Mayo Clinic!
Excellent, he actually cares and you can tell. I love this doc. I've been seeing him since 2017 and would never change. Scott is so good that it's become almost like a 'marriage' for me, till death do us part. :) He doesn't rush or judge AT ALL, thorough with explanations of the approaches to my complete health care. Scott personifies what the Mayo is. This IS the Mayo Clinic! Top Shelf!!

Dr. Benson is a great doctor—excellent bedside manners, observant, smart, good listener, respectful—and a wonderful human being, an increasingly rare combination in today’s medicine. I am not a fan of the Mayo Clinic (the corporation/administration and its many inane policies), but they do employ many excellent doctors, like Dr. Benson. The only problem is how difficult it often is to schedule appointments (sometimes 2-3 weeks’ wait) with him. But then, he’s a popular doc!

Great doctor , great guy . genuinely cares and takes his time to make sure your health is watched over and managed to allow you to enjoy life best ya can and myself I've had so many various different health issues and he was the Dr. Who kept up with all, helped with making it a circle of healthcare rather then the chain of drs before. I would say maybe add another star for rating drs like him who go above and beyond the in n out docs recommend him to anyone 5+stars
