Dr. Benedict is very patient friendly and takes the time to listen and gets to know you as a person. This enables him to be able to understand how to properly care for my diabetes care and treatment. Always seems available for appointments and is very easy to talk with.

I think Dr. Benedict needs to re-evaluate his position as a endo Dr. I was told that I had severe bone loss and I needed to do reclast right away. It was a shock to hear this in the first place but I felt that he had absolutely no sympathy what so ever. He said well you do not have to have it and sneeze and break your back. WHAT A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY!!!!. I would not recommend this Dr.

I would recommend Dr. Benedict for any diabetic looking for a new endocrinologist. The last few that I'd seen were, at best, distant and mechanical, with recommendations and suggestions that I've known for twenty years. Dr. Benedict is a fun, human doctor who helps me see where I can make little improvements in my health- he's both realistic and helpful, which I've literally never seen (at least to this degree) in an endocrinologist before.

First this doctor berated me for responding to my heart doctor's recommendations (although it was my understanding that I had some time to make this decision and I was planning to wait until after my visit with Dr. Benedict before deciding) but then continued to tell me not to take the medication that the heart doctor said I had to have or my heart would stop. WHAT!!

I was referred to this Doctor a few years ago and every time I see him, he makes it a good visit. He's taught me so much. He really LISTENS. I have multiple medical problems. I am 52 and I've been to more Drs than I can remember. He's one of the two Drs in my entire life that is truly a keeper!

Dr. Benedict is one of my favourite doctors. He is very straight forward and realistic. I leave every appointment feeling better than when I got there with a refreshed focus on my diabetes care. He never makes me feel guilty about times I've poorly managed my diabetes. I have recommended him to a couple friends and they love him just as much as I do.If you're looking for a straight forward, realistic and even funny doctor - go see Benedict!
