"He's very interested in his patients and in their comfort. He looks and acts like a person who loves life and that zest for life involves his potential patients. At his seminars, he acts like he has all the time in the world to answer questions and interacts one-on-one with his attendees.
Dr. B. is like a breath of fresh air. I like to feel valued. He's the best!
It's impossible for me to find anything negative. He requires testing and physical workups prior to surgery. That's a real positive.
He also emphasizes that aftercare is the most important part of the process and warns that a person who does not participate in aftercare will not succeed. He does have a structured program for his patients to support each other, along with dietary help and other care.
The first doctor I saw had no personality and seemed too negative.
I believe surgical competence and bedside manner are of utmost importance. Both are necessary for a good alliance between physician and patient.
I'm glad I shopped around until I found Dr. Benavides."
