Dr. Marty Neal Bennett, MD

Dr. Bennett has been my psychiatrist for over 10 years. Maybe 15 years now , and long enough to feel my opinion and experiences have some merit. Anyhow, his bedside is caring and professional. In my personal case, he has treated my condition with the utmost of care and interest. Dr. Bennett’s commitment to individual patient care, along with his background educationally and in practical medical application, resulted in a better understanding of my condition, improvement in my mood, thereby giving me a much better quality of life. when I originally was seeking psychiatric care, some 30 years ago, I was diagnosed with unipolar depression. Long to short story, I was fired after a dispute between my former (now retired) doctor and myself. I then had a second psychiatrist. With her for a year or two, but could no longer tolerate the incompetent, hostile and dismissive nature of her office and staff; not at all considerate of the type of medical practice that is necessary in a… psychiatric clinic/provider. Giant eye roll… On to Dr. Bennett, who has helped become and maintain a stability I felt unlikely to find in my advancing years. He listens, allows me to voice my needs, concerns and be heard and feel safe. And, just recently while receiving a treatment at the clinic, I was in a place where I had JUST felt unsafe Nd his words instantly calmed and reassured me. It was all I needed and he provided that without me asking. I cannot explain this, except perhaps certain mental health professionals have it, and some do not. He most certainly has the wisdom, energy, boundaries and compassion this field of medicine demands. He has truly kept current with the most effective of treatment options which might be of true benefit to me. The most recent medicine addition that has changed my life, was the introduction - via the clinic under his guidance, of compounded esketamine. It has certainty lifted my mood and almost resulted in my remission of my deeply depressive episodes. They are much less frequent or significant. I am no longer “getting through” my days; I am living not merely “surviving.” I have not ever experienced him as doctor who is unwilling to listen to my concerns about medicine, and will whenever Possible, Dr. Bennett offers options. I do not find myself feeling belittled by his vast knowledge, rather, he is a genuinely gifted psychiatrist and neurologist (board certified, too!) who can speak layman medicine, and great with my slow comprehension. I have not found it impossible to make appointments, and the front staff does their best to accommodate needs. I have had difficulty and experienced frustration over not receiving my medicine (esketamine) in timely manner, although, it has been ongoing situation when I request Rx be refilled, 2-3 weeks in advance. I fully believe this is the due to external pharmacy, but have been told two versions of what has happened, so, umm, but the doctor has always had the alternative treatment option available to me, thank Heavens. That aside, I genuinely have, only positive, kind words and sincere gratitude and respect for Dr. Bennett, and how his skills, interest, patience with me, and brilliance he has helped me. He has been a primary reason I believe I am alive. He leaves with hope that even as I age, i can still manage, re: my mental wellbeing, brain function and correct RX’s, which will continue to help me truly live free as I have been from depression and from mood instability . Thank you Dr. Bennett. For everything you do to help me manage my mental wellness. I only wish I had found his practice in my younger years, likely to have been more effectively guided professionally.

I have called 3 times and have gotten no call backs. I have had my Insurance call while he suppose to be taking new patients apparently was told is not at this time. I have gone to this office a year ago don't understand how so much can change in such a short amount of time. Very disappointed and frustrated to not getting an appointment.

In 2009 I consulted Dr. Bennett for 2 specific complaints: left foot paralysis and nightmares occurred after a traumatic human-trafficking-related event I had just suffered. Dr. Bennett was one of the doctors issuing medical reports that EFFECTIVELY SILENCED ME about the crime until 2018: his report stated a false diagnosis reminiscent of those the criminals were at the time threatening me with if I disclosed anything (mental illness i.e. imprisonment for it) – thus his medical report, too, facilitated the obstruction of U.S. justice. The background was human trafficking: in 2008, my military-veteran spouse and I (EU-born female) were targeted by a strongly-networked criminal ring in the D.C./MD/VA area aiming at defrauding us and trafficking me. The D.C. criminals’ plot was thwarted by an honest State Department official, but not before I suffered personal injury; the criminals’ pressures peaked with threats of disease-inoculation and a mock substance meant only to frighten me into… obedience, but which in fact caused me a heart attack and paralysis in 2008. After relocating alone to TX with my spouse’s help, I consulted doctors to whom I briefly disclosed the crime. Br. Bennett’s medical report issued after a sole 20-min. visit -- for left foot paralysis & nightmares -- ignores and undermines my description of that typical human trafficking crime, and states the words “possible delusion with psychotic features” (absent any proofs on his side that I was not telling the truth); he even misrepresents my social standing by assessing my social judgment as merely “fair” (I have been a top-level professional teaching sociology among other subjects) … and noting a “consumption of substance/ alcohol not in large amounts” -- while I never used drugs/alcohol due to my conservative religious faith … all this implying a fake disreputable portrayal antithetic to my person. Dr. Bennett’s false report might have assisted the same traffickers in 2017 when there was a repeat trafficking attempt, for, apparently, an identity swap overseas -- at which point I finally disclosed everything to the Police and U.S. authorities at large. On a last note: this crime occurred because I had offered my MA-degree qualified patriotic services to D.C. federal agencies and my ex-Navy spouse supported me – unfortunately, the D.C. criminals perceived our patriotism as a vulnerability to be exploited. The medical report issued by Dr. Bennett was not corrected by his office despite my polite letters asking him to correct it. Dr. Bennett’s medical report is presently being denied by me again as false and a document that wittingly or unwittingly has served to cover up human trafficking by intimidating me into silence in/after 2009. I had proofs of the crime described to him and he never asked to see them; I had never experienced the symptoms and lifestyle implied by Dr. Bennett’s choice of words; thus, what he wrote is false data which he unexplainably refused to correct.

Listens, attentive, cares. His feedback regarding issues is profound. Much better than my therapist. Always remembers details of issues discussed from past visits.

Marty Bennett is the BEST psychiatrist I have ever been to in the Dallas area. I have tried many, believe me! In my case, I was getting the wrong dignosis each time because no one would listen to me. Marty takes the time to listen and that is vitally important for the correct dianosis!! His off ice staff is very kind and considerate. He knows his meds and keeps up with what is coming on the market & clinical trials for what is around the corner. Very smart, caring and super knowlegable. I have been going to him for over six years and would not trade him for the world.

Dr. Marty Bennett is very thorough and caring. My wife and I both went to visit him together for about a year. He weaned me off some medication and replaced it with something better. He is a great listener and shows he really cares about people. My last psych was nothing but a pill pusher and never cared about me personally. Since going to Marty my life has improved for the better and keeps improving over time. I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful doctor!!!!!

Great doctor. The first pychiatrist that I've found that actually listens to what you are saying, gives feedback and really seems to care about his patients. Also stays in contact with all my doctors to make sure everyone is on the same page with treatment with him and my other doctors. Office staff super friendly and warm. I feel that I lucked out on finding Dr. Bennett because I've been to so many pyschiatrist in the pass who just sat there and looked at me. They didn't ask me questions nor give me feedback. I highly recommend Dr. Bennett so much so that he doesn't take my insurance so I pay out if my pocket rather than trying to find another doctor who is on my insurance.

excellent caring doctor.

Dr. Bennet kept trying different drugs until we found the combination that let me enjoy life again. My previous psychs. had pretty much given up on getting me to that point.

Expect to get voice mail when calling even though there is someone there to answer the phones.
