Love ya, Doc 💖
I arrived 10 minutes early. Doctors skipped over me. I was there for close to an hour as he saw other patients who came in after me was really irritated. There’s no reason for that.
Very personable and knowledgeable. Appreciate the time he takes to listen and explain.
Dr. Benitez is a great doctor because he listens. Very kind and encouraging!!
I’m glad I found him. I was a Mayo Clinic patient for many years until they stopped taking my DoD coverage. I did alot off research before selecting a doctor. I feel I made a very good choice.
He is excellent in his knowledge of electrophysiology, is patient with the patient.
Dr. Edilberto takes the time to thoroughly explain medical information in a way that’s easy to understand. He is thoughtful in his approach and made well-informed decisions regarding my care. I appreciate the time and attention he gave to ensure I felt confident and supported throughout the process. Highly recommend
WAITED TWO HOURS FOR DOCTOR AND DID NOT GET TO SEE HIM.
Had to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes in the room for the doctor. That is unacceptable.
“Dr.Bennie” has a good spirit. He explained the procedure very well. He made me feel comfortable and relieved the bit of anxiety I had. I’m very happy with the Doctor and staff. Thank you.
