I can't recommend Dr. Benzel enough! He is thorough and even-keeled. His office is pristine and staff is friendly. He does not overbook so we rarely even see other patients in his office. The most we've ever waited to be seen was 5 minutes, if that.

Dr. Benzel far exceeded our expectations. We brought our oldest 2 boys for their annual physical and it was just wonderful! Dr. Benzel took the time to sit with them and get to know them. He explained everything from what to expect at the visit to how to live a healthy lifestyle. He is so kind, welcoming and thorough. We are so thankful we found him and would highly recommend!

Dr. B and his staff are lovely. The office is very nice and welcoming. I’m very happy to have found such a caring physician who was able to connect with my child and take the time to do so.
August 13, 2025Lauren F.Verified patient
I highly recommend Benzel Pediatrics. Dr. Benzel’s bedside care was amazing, and I haven’t come across a pediatric doctor who actually takes time to know his patients and actually listen to their concerns. He was very thorough with the physical examination and easy to talk to. I finally found someone I’m comfortable with. Highly recommended!

Dr.Benzel is fantastic. He’s very thorough with his physicals. Both my kids have been his patient for years . His bedside manner and his ability to answer all questions always puts me at ease . It’s hard to find a doctor that takes his time instead of rushing the appointments. He’s too Notch !
