I think Dr.Benson is a great Doctor. She has helped me with horrible chronic pain from 3 back surgeries and cancer. She does listen and care about you if you are a patient. Without her I dont know what I would do. So if you need a great Doctor for pain come and talk to her. Plus she will listen to you about any problems and point you in the right direction.

great doctor! I visited 3 others who couldn't diagnose the pain I was feeling in my shoulder. She was punctual and easy to talk to.

Dr. Bensen was very helpful to me when I had excruciating pains in my lower back. She was very helpful and kind. After seeing many previous doctors, she was the most helpful.

I found Dr. Benson to be one of the best doctors I have had. She really know her crap. She is also not a doctor who lets there patients suffer. She is smart and you dont have to fight with her to get something for pain. She also tells you the dangers of taking narcotic pain meds. Over all I give her 9 out of 1-10
