I have never been to a doctor before that has taken this much time with me. He explained things to me in detail and I never felt rushed. Would definitely recommend him!!

Best pain management doc ever, needs to be in private practice, but I'm sure it's too boring.

Of the 100+ MDs I've seen- he is far greater than most all. Thanks Dr. Benton. Incredible bedside manor and that's surely rare especially for an ER physician

Very straight forward, and very informative. I highly recommend Dr Benton. A trip to the E.R. Is never good. Dr Benton made that trip as easy and painless as possible. There should be more Staff like him.

Courteous and a genious. It didn't take Dr. Benton anytime at all to figure out my problem after two other doctors and a RN got it wrong. Thanks Doc.

Dr. Benton is awesome. He has treated both myself and my boyfriend. I hope he has a private practice. If so, we will be seeing him as our PCP.
