Dr. Benton will be sorely missed when he retires. His upbeat personality, great bedside manners and his exceptional expertise in cardiology is what makes him shine! 10/10 rating.

Been with Dr Benton about 10 years.
Before and after valve replacement surgery. Can’t speak highly enough of him. I am sad to hear of his upcoming retirement and wish him nothing but the best. Will be transitioning to Dr Purga next year.
