Dr Benton is an exceptional doctor. He treats his patients very professionally and yet personally making his patients feel important. On my recent visit I was anticipating clearance for upcoming surgery. Dr Benton explained thoroughly why he couldn’t and wouldn’t rubber stamp an approval. He was 100 per cent correct and took immediate steps to expedite my needed procedure. He did this while continuing my appreciation and respect for excellent care. He is an example how to be a Doctor and being personable at the same time.

Very engaging and interested.
Mar-2024
I had to sign a HIPAA paper what is the point in having a HIPAA paper if your walls don’t even go up to the ceiling and I can hear everything that the doctor is saying to the patient on either side of my room so therefore somebody has got to hear everything I’m saying or discussing with the doctor I don’t consider that right and I don’t like it I like the doctor but I don’t like the surroundings it’s the same thing in the troy office as well
