Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

While Dr. Benson can be straight to the point at times, she is very thorough. She takes the time to listen and understand your needs, and does not rush you along. She will not hesitate to order tests, if needed. She is the first doctor in years to do this with me. She has been practicing for a long time and knows what she is doing.

Dr. Aurora Benson is extremely courteous, thoughtful and thorough. She takes her time, and listens to my concerns as a human instead of watching the clock like other doctors. This makes the process of determining a diagnosis much faster and Accurate. Dr. Benson keeps up with medical information/procedures and explains it in an appropriate manner. Dr. Aurora Benson is a consummate professional whom I trust.

When I asked her what muscle it was that was injured, she told me it didn't matter and just massage the area. Then when I told her my arm hurt, so told me not to use it anymore. I felt like I was in a comic.
