Patient Reviews
Aug 18, 2022
Dr Benninger is an experienced practitioner in solo practice for many years. In other words, a unicorn. He's clinically skilled and an excellent communicator who will put you right at ease. He cares very much about his patients and their eye health. Refers to trusted colleagues for surgeries. I hope he never retires.
