TThis doctor worked with Dr. Neil Edison-Nuff Said! Biggest A-Hoo psych doc in America! If the medical board understood that this doctor would get his license revoked. It takes a megacreep to work with a massive cockroach!

My son went to Abington Collaborative care and saw Dr. Benjamin. Talk about a joke, both the practice and the Dr. My son was prescribed 7 different medications at 15 years old. When asked to switch Dr's it was said the Dr's in the practice don't like to take on the other Dr's patients. I think more like they don't want to take on Dr. Benjamin's patients. 3 rehabs later, I am now battling a drug addicted child. Thanks but no thanks to Dr. Benjamin. Do the research. Most people say he over medicates. Wish I did!

Dr. Benjamin overmedicates and lacks finesse with psych meds.

Hmm I was overmedicated by a pain management doctor and another psychiatrist which a crisis team convinced my Dad to 302 me. Long story short Dr.Benjamin kept me 16 days, misdiagnosed me and over medicated me all over again. St.Lukes thinks everyone is Bipolar. I even requested not to go to St.Lukes. It is good to get more than 1 opinion concerning your diagnosis and be pro active in your healing journey. Oh Dr.Schwinderman is a toolbag as well.

to many patients for the time that he has. but is'nt this the case almost every dr.'s office. they just want to suck up your insurance money/ money. know one can afford him if you don't have the insurance that he takes. it's a shame because people are not getting the mental help that is really needed by him & other doctor's.

Dr. Benjamin is very professional and extremely knowledgable. His bed side manner is second to none and "follow ups" are helpful.

I feel that Dr. Benjamin is very caring and compassionate, every time I've needed to reach him, he always calls back almost immediately, I would also like to say that his wife Lynn Benjamin is also very caring and compassionate , I feel that they both genuinely care about thier patients. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs thier services.
