Patient Reviews
Dec 29, 2016
Dr. Benton was my pediatrician as a child and has been my son's since the day he was born despite living out of town and at one point out of state. Dr. Benton and his staff have been consistently phenominal. He is thorough and patient. I could not ask for better care for my child. He and his staff are a true blessing.
