“This was my first time visiting Dr. Bengston as I just moved to St. Pete. He is very thorough. He took his time reviewing my prior medical history and medications to understand my background. He asked a lot of questions, explained different options for my medications and made some suggestions. I will continue to use Dr. Bengston as my new primary care provider. I highly recommend him. Also, the office staff was very attentive, efficient and friendly. My wait time upon arrival was about 10 minutes. Courtney, his assistant was also very friendly, attentive.”

My visit with Dr. Christian Bengtson was excellent. He took all the time needed to review my health history; check all the parameters needed.
He gave me the proper advice and recommendations to take care of some issues. He was sure that I understood well each of them and their reasons.
The orders for the lab and prescriptions for the pharmacy were sent online before I left.
I will recommend Dr Bengtson to all my friends and family members.

Dr. Bengston was absolutely hands down the best family doctor I have ever seen. He was extremely thorough, kind, professional and very knowledgeable.
To have a doctor actually listen to you and your concerns is a huge deal. He wasn’t trying to rush me out for his next patient.
I was highly impressed and will not see another family physician.
