Dr. Benjamin is always very attentive to my needs and concerns. He works very hard to not just treat the issue, but get to the root of it. He is kind, patient and understanding. I never feel rushed during my appointment. He explains things, accepts feedback and is very supportive in assisting with care. Dr. Benjamin’s’ wait time is never long. He is always welcoming and non-judgmental of any issues or concerns I have. He treats me with respect and kindness. He takes the time to really listen to your concerns before planning a treatment plan. I don’t find it difficult to reach him by message, or phone if needed. I would recommend Dr. Benjamin to anyone who is seeking a Primary Care Physician.

disappointed, doctor advertised to be a pain doctor, however refused to write a prescription for a established patient for no other reason than political restraints. What becomes of the medical oath doctors should abide by. This is shameful, repulsive and inhumane.

I had been searching for medication management and had just about given up before I spoke to Eric Benjamin. He is professional, patient and a great listener. He is very knowledgeable, and his experience is evident. He listened to and was respectful of my knowledge as well. Mr. Benjamin explained why he recommended the medication, how it works in the body and possible side effects. I intend to continue working with him. e

After months of trying to find a virtual doctor to not only treat my issue but also can be a pcm in a mostly virtual environment. This is a true game changer and other than absolutely necessary I hope to never have to go into an urgent care facility for a long long time.
