WE LOVE DR. B so much. My daughter is turning 15 this year and we have been see doctor Benjamin since she was a new born. My new baby now see her too! She listens to all your concerns, she does not rush you and she follows up even when it's after hours. She is honest and if she is not sure of something she will research and get back to you. She deals with a lot of young patients and she still remember to check back in if there is something that needed following up on. Also, her nurse is wonderful and you can see that they have a great relationship working together, and it makes the appointments even more comfortable and smooth. I LOVE DR. B dearly and I thank her for all she does for me and my girls. Easing my worry when a lab result is concerning and just being an ear to listen with health concerns. She has been understanding when I have arrived late to my appointment for my daughter's and I truly appreciate that. Anyone that knows her can clearly see that she truly LOVES her patients and its not just a job to her. I will continue to have my two girls be seen by her. I don't let them see anyone else. I'm a little sad that in a few years my oldest will be 18 and I think that when she transitions to an adult doctor. THANK YOU DOCTOR BENJAMIN FOR ALL YOU DO!

Me and my husband enjoyed our time there for our baby boys first appointment. As others have mentioned here, she was very thorough and showed that she cared for the patient and us more than forcing her agenda or beliefs to sway us. She was very insightful and helpful and we will be returning to her for our second visit.
