Dr. Benham is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. He is also a really nice guy. Very calm. Listens well. Is not quick to suggest surgery unless he feels conservative measures will not suffice. Excellent judgement. Very honest and straightforward. Very patient in discussing options. He also has an excellent reputation as a very skilled surgeon. If I could give him 6 stars, I would.
