Dr Bench is the kindest doctor I have ever met. His bedside manner is excellent! I felt heard and cared for every step of the way. His communication is clear and kind. In addition, I am happy with the results of my surgery and think the scar will heal nicely. Thank you Dr Bench for your dedication to your patients and your practice.
