Dr. Benz explained things in a way I could understand and involved me in the decision for future steps.
All good!
I couldn't ask for better care.
Dr Benz is outstanding. He is an excellent surgeon and I am so grateful for his excellent skills and care. I am recovering from a fractured hip and wrist that he repaired. No doubt my great recovery was partially the result of his competence.
Dr Benz did a great job on my second full knee Replacement
Very good at dumbing it down for me.
This is an excellent clinic with great doctor (Benz) & staff. Superior to care previously received at "mothership"...UVMMC main campus.
Follow up visit. No problems
Best care provider explained everything that would be done clearly so that I can understand and was very professional in his performance.
I always feel heard and that decisions are made as a team.
Not only Dr. Benz is a fantastic surgeon, but he's friendly & caring. He never acts like he's in a rush.
I love Dr. Benz. He's my idea of the "perfect" doctor. I wouldn't want anyone to do my knee replacement besides Dr. Benz!
Overall, a great experience.
Good
Dr. Benz is wonderful.
I have a few things going on and Dr. Benz took lots of time explaining everything to me. Very kind, professional but also compassionate.
Excellent care from start to finish by Dr. Benz for 2 knee replacements!
Dr. Benz was very thorough and explained the whole process and let me come to my own decision.
Always have great experience w/not only Dr. Benz by his office staff too. Everyone is very courteous & treats me w/professional kindness. Highly recommend Dr. Benz & his staff.
