Terrible experience! This Dr. cares far more about what he can charge you that insurance wont cover than anything else. He is callous, negative and uncaring . Found much better care elsewhere!

I came here to get a stye injected, They quoted me $175 over the phone, which is ALOT for a little kenalog injection, but I was desperate. 2 hours in the office, I told the Medical Assistant I needed to leave. Dr. Benjamin overheard me and came into the room (upset) dropped the F-BOMB and injected my eye with so much fluid my eye was swollen shut for 5 mins. I have worked in a dermatologist and ophthalmologist office to know, you are only suppose to inject a little, since the eye lid is very thin. two months later, I am still having problems with my eye. He charged me $500 at check out, I was in such a rush, I told myself I would deal with it later. I brushed it off and let it go, to only get a bill two months later for $35.00. I am very fair, but he could care less about his patients and just wants money.
