Patient Reviews
Jun 07, 2024
I had only been seeing his excellent PA's. You don't get to meet him until you are hospitalized. But don't worry he is excellent & has wonderful bedside manners. Dr Benner made me feel like I was a person not a number. He took his time to tell me about my surgery etc. He is the best of the best for sure. I don't know how he did it, but at my age I've had many surgeries & I always felt pain or discomfort. I never felt either from the moment I woke up. Thank you, Dr Benner for all you did for me.
