Patient Reviews
Jun 11, 2021
I want to express my sincere appreciation for the promptness and professional care given to my son. Our experience at this facility was of the quickest and best we have ever encountered. Dr. Benfanti and staff was incredibly friendly and professional. I especially loved how Dr. Benfanti really took his time to explain my sons condition with my husband and I as well as his treatment options. His demeanor has really put me at ease so I highly recommend this clinic.
