Dr. Bedford listened to me and made a plan with me for treatment that was respectful of my concerns. I felt like I was seen and heard by him.
It’s always a good experience in Dr. Bedford’s office!
Compassionate, explains things so that I can understand them. Just an overall pleasant person
Ben is knowledgeable, reassuring, realistic and frank when it is appropriate. He gives his patients a good sense of what to expect and how best to deal with a prognosis. He does not default to “get surgery “. He wants what is in the best interest of his patients.
Great doctor
He never came into the room. A nurse came in, prescribed medication, which was never sent to the pharmacy.
Dr Bedford has made me feel I am being really taken care of. He is professional, efficient and friendly. I am very grateful!
Dr. Bedford was so kind he explained everything to me in a way that I would understand. I was so comfortable with him.
He is wonderful and very caring and knowledgeable. Will recommend him with pleasure. .
