Dr. Benson has been my doctor for at least 10 years, and I have had knee and hip replacements, and follow up treatments with him. I am very pleased with his work and my treatment. And he is very attentive to my concerns. However, my recent visit was not the best visit with him, in the past I have waited for his appointments with him, but found it ok in the past. Yesterday I waited 40 minutes in the room, which is too long and felt a bit rushed during the meeting for injection.

Dr. Benson did my right hip 25 years ago and it has been perfect! Yesterday I went to see him for knee pain. I am such a chicken when it comes to injections, but it was painless!!! He is Awesome!!!!!

Dr. Benson is wonderful. Listens, makes my issues important, and provides great suggestions for a plan for Knee Pain Relief. I have only seen him twice (once of a meniscus operation), but have seen other staff-all at the Bedford location. I would highly recommend any of them. Dr. Benson is so relatable, and is always happy to answer any question. THANK YOU. Always happy to boast big-time about a GREAT DOCTOR, thanks Dr. Benson. Ginny Smith

My appointment with Dr. Benson yesterday was awesome as usual. I have been a patient of his since 2009, so he must be doing something to keep me coming back. I fall apart and he puts me back together, almost as good as new!

Dr. Benson is great! He is so patient, calm and knowledgeable. Even though he injectable my knee each time I have an appointment, I enjoy seeing him. He always puts me at ease and spends enough time with me. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Benson replaced my hip and knee over the past 10 months. Approachable, explains everything well and has a great track record. When I mentioned his name to several outpatient services they always reply that he is the best.
