Patient Reviews
Jan 10, 2024
I had an inguinal hernia repair and Dr. Bengtson did an incredible job. He was very thorough before and at the post op. He and his surgical team at St. Joseph's Hospital in Brainerd were tremendous. The repair is healing nicely and everything is getting back to normal. He is very caring and an expert in his field. You should be very comfortable putting your health in the hands of Dr. Bengtson. Thank you Dr. Bengtson!
