Office staff is really nice. They announced the doctor was running "late" but I was still seen within 15 minutes of my appointment time.
Verified patient
The most amazing visit I have ever had!
Verified patient
Dr. Bennett was very professional and addressed my concerns immediately. He was a little late for the appointment due to a surgical situation which I fully understand. We will see how the treatment goes, but I think we are off to a good start.
Verified patient
Dr Bennett took the time to sit and explain to me my MRI and radiologist report. A good sign of a good surgeon is one that is prepared. Don't be fooled by other doctors that don't take the time to look at your MRI let alone to review it with you. I feel very comfortable with Dr Bennett performing my surgery.
Verified patient
I didn't have an appointment and Dr. Bennett's staff still were able to pencil me in. As soon as my paperwork was finished they got my X-rays done and Dr.Bennett visited with me and I was in and out in 30minutes. Excellent care and service.
Verified patient
Great doctor and staff. Highly recommend him.
Verified patient
Unfortunately this is a reflection of zoc doc and dr.Bennett's office. I had an appointment at 3 and I wasn't seen until 4:18. Why? Because my information from zoc doc was not sent to the office for an appointment that was scheduled several weeks in advanced. I had to re fill out all the paper work, then I had to wait no one was apologetic towards to wait I had to endure.
Verified patient
Dr Bennett saw my son for his knee pain. He was very thorough with his assessment. He also spoke to my son so that he could understand what was causing the pain. I was very impressed with our visit dr. Bennett is great and the staff is very nice and helpful
Dr Bennett asked several questions and then examined my knee. There are so many places a knee can have injury but he was able to find the exact location and zero in on the problem quickly. We then discussed my options. Happy w the doc. His front office staff...not the best but it's the doc that's most important.
Very informative would recommend him to anyone
Verified patient
Receptionist and staffs are very couteous. Dr. M. Bennett was very detail in collecting information on symptoms. Great bedside manner. Highly recommended to anyone who needs orthopedic care!
Verified patient
Dr. Bennett was great and patiently explained my injuries and options to me. He happily answered all my questions and did not make me feel like he was in a hurry to move on to the next patient. I appreciate his professionalism and care.
Verified patient
I think the doctor is very kind.
