Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2020
I have reviewed Dr. Bentley, and also wish to review his P.A. Rachel Catevenis. This P.A. is one of the most knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate health care practitioners I have ever encountered. Together with Dr. Bentley they make up a team that I feel could not be surpassed in any medical environment. Rachel really listens, thinks about the situation before responding, and then presents a voice of reason in her recommendations and guidance in what can be a difficult and fearful situation. I feel truly blessed to have found Rachel and Dr. Bentley and his team at this professional and responsive medical facility.
