Patient Reviews
Apr 28, 2016
This was a very complicated visit as my Primary Care Dr missed some vital information that Dr. Bench and his staff had to reveal to me. This was incredibly sever information. He and his staff were supportive, productive, and incredibly responsible with how they handled the situation. They took immediate action, were responsive to all my concerns, and made themselves available to me at the drop of a hat. After 11 years, this is by far and away the best attention my health has had, period.
