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.

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.
