The doctor took it upon herself to administer filler where she deemed necessary and when I didn't like the results she lied and stated filler wasn't injected in those areas. I went to another doctor who said the filler is there and was horribly administered. She still refuses to dissolve the filler. Do NOT use this office!

Dr. Benson and his staff are courteous, knowledgeable and honest. They made me feel completely comfortable and was extremely satisfied with my results. I would refer my family and friends to him without hesitation. I will continue to see him as my doctor and I recommend that you do to.

Last week while scheduling a routine procedure at a doctor's office, the staff member told me she was shocked at my age. She said she thought I was at least 15 years younger than the age on my paperwork. I told her that I have a great dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon--Dr. Benson. Over the years, he has done Smartlipo and Cellulaze on my legs and abs, CO2 resurfacing under my eyes, and Botox & fillers. I now can wear clothes I could only have dreamed of wearing before (no more thighs rubbing together as I walk!), and I don't feel so tired looking since I no longer have thin, wrinkled skin with dark circles under my eyes. The Botox and fillers are simply amazing! Dr. Benson doesn't over do them, so I feel like I look rested and younger looking--not plastic or distorted. I have known Dr. Benson for years, and he has done many procedures on friends and family members of mine. We all have been so pleased with our results. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone with… years of experience, a caring manner, an excellent staff...and mostly results that make you look and feel better.
