I was sent to Dr. Bensen for a second opinion regarding my shoulders & neck. He took an inordinate amount of time to listen to my variety of issues, asked several questions, and examined mobility. He performed X-rays right in the office, and was able to diagnose two separate issues that no one had caught up until then. He was able to treat one of the issues with cortisone (as opposed to surgery that had been asserted previously), and also made an appointment with a Neurologist for the second issue. I recommend him without any reservations whatsoever! :)

Dr. Bensen did a great job on my knee. It took a while to get an appointment and a small wait, however I do not blame him for this. He is so busy because he is Good at his job and everyone wants to get in.

Slipped and fell on sidewalk 2nd day of vacation. Fractured both shoulder and hip. Dr Bensen repaired both and I was able to fly home 1400 miles 1 week later. No complications occurred. Orthopedic surgeon back home complemented on the excellent repair that was by this awesome doctor. Maureen Cuyahoga Falls,OH

Dr.bensen is top notch. He performed 4 procedures (the works) on my shoulder three years ago in Feb.. I never knew what it was like to be pain free until then. Doctors like Dr. Bensen are difficult to find. I wish all doctors could be as qualified and dedicated.
