Friendly but visit was a waste of time. He spent the entire first appointment trying to upsell me vitamins or inserts for my shoes when I came in for a different limb entirely.

Dr. Benedikt is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I've seen many chiropractors across the city in the last 5 years, and he's at the top of my list.
May 10, 2019Rich O.Verified patient
Dr. Benedikt diagnosed a back problem I had for years in a manner of minutes. Just by the way I was standing and walking, he correctly identified where my pain was and had a plan of attack on how to alleviate it. He is also very easy to talk to, and very lighthearted in conversation, which immediately made me feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend him!
July 24, 2018Daniel S.Verified patient

Dr Benedikt was very professional ... He made me feel comfortable and was very attentive to my needs. My back pain was gone after 2 visits which was great! Thank you!
December 7, 2016Brenda O.Verified patient
Dr. Benedikt is very informative and shows concern for your treatment. There are few doctors left with his values and professionalism, he does not care about making money. I am looking forward to beginning my treatment with him. I highly recommend him if you prefer not to take drugs or pills and want to treat the cause.

I see Dr Benedikt regularly for upper back pain and have been very happy with the treatments. Convenient, quick, very knowledgeable and kind.

I saw Dr. Benedikt for brief back alignment and electric stimulation therapy. If you're looking for an in-and-out doctor, he should do the trick. Very chatty and affable guy.

amazing
May 23, 2016JOHN M.Verified patient
He was very kind and informative, and also very easy and quick to schedule an appointment with. I never saw a chiropractor before, so he was very good about explaining how it works and making suggestions for how to help with my shoulder issues.

My back feels much better!

Within a few visits my back felt good as new.

He insisted on "preventive care" and that i return to him every week. Spoke about everything in the world (from politics to technology) expect how to adjust my posture & change my desk to avoid any neck issues in the future (he would tell me how to make those changes the next time I saw him). My $0.02.. this is typical for most chiropractors .. they want repeat business... finding one you like & trust is hard.

Very informative!
December 27, 2015Melissa S.Verified patient
This was my first visit with Doctor Benedikt. He was extremely kind and patient with me as I tired to describe my pain and discomfort. I also appreciated his demeanor and promptness in scheduling a follow up appointment.

November 30, 2015Martin L.Verified patient
Dr. Benedikt is very knowledgeable, and I trust his perspective and insights. I'm already planning on going back to his practice for more adjustments, and also for advice on improving my physiological health. Highly recommend.
September 17, 2015Marie "zee" H.Verified patient
Had sever neck pain from sleeping in a funny way compounded by a minor injury and i felt significantly better after leaving. Plus, he explains everything clearly and can answer just about any question you can throw at him.
September 25, 2015Edward C.Verified patient
Dr.. Benedikt saw me right away but the entire visit took about 25 minutes and he talked for 15 minutes explaining the practice. So he only adjusted my neck and back briefly for 10 minutes.

Dr. Denedikt was great. He saw me right away, and really listened to what was going on. He had a ton of knowledge and immediately helped me to alleviate my back pain.

Dr. Benedikt was prompt, efficient, and very friendly! This was my first visit and he made sure to cover all the basics about chiropractic sessions as well as specifics about how he conducts his practice. He has a very pragmatic approach and pays close attention to every detail, from the answers you give to checking the tread on your shoes for patterns of wear.
I have already recommended him to two friends!

It has been a joy being treated by DR Benedikt.

Awesome, plain and simple. He sits you down and talks to you to understand your problems. Then he educates you and takes care of you.
