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.

I don’t know how this works but I been takin my meds for 25 yrs mon through fri an they been in my system but then all of a suddenly she took me off them….

She is always very thorough, very helpful, friendly and has found things that other doctors and emergency room visit hasn't picked up. She is a wonderful doctor.

My previous doctor retired and she became my new primary. Our first visit she was extremely rude and I figured she was just having a bad day. I decided to give her another chance and see her again. All I can say is do not waste your time. She’s over the top! Strict with no remorse. It’s like having a strict parent. KNOW YOUR PLACE. IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY, LEAVE!! PEOPLE COME IN FOR HELP AND YOU'RE SO UP TIGHT. YOU TOOK AWAY ALL MY MEDICATIONS WHEN I NEEDED THEM THE MOST. IM TRYING TO FIND A PSYCHIATRIST AND YOU'RE MAKING ME MORE STRESSED OUT THAN I WAS! You can’t help but feel like all she wants is a paycheck.

Dr. Bennett is extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and I feel she cares a great deal for my wellbeing. When experiencing symptoms I had seen several other doctors for, she correctly diagnosed the issue, sent me to a specialist for treatment, and I am now symptom-free. She has repeatedly shown herself to be helpful, knowledgeable, and caring. I would highly recommend her (and have!) to friends and family members, as well as anyone reading this review.

She is an excellent, caring doctor. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new GP (General Practitioner). She has been mine for years & can’t imagine having anyone else. I’ve had a number of different GPs in the past & none of them seemed to be as vested in my personal health as her. As someone who almost always does their research on whatever medical issue brings me to her office, I am always impressed with the knowledge & experience she brings to the discussion without being condescending or dismissive. She really listens to what I say & treats me with respect & dignity which is very important to me.

Fine for routine visit but awful for anything complicated and unprofessional when asked questions. SC schedules follow ups then has no clue why you are there when you come in for follow up. Disnissive and and condescending. Inaccurate information provided.

I have been seeing Dr. Bennett for many years, first at Latham Med, and now at Center for Family Practice. She has always been professional, informative, and caring. When I have an urgent need for an appointment, they usually accommodate me, though on a few occasions I have seen other qualified and professional providers in her office. She always takes the time to answer my questions in easy to understand terms, and is very thorough in the treatment I get from her. I highly recommend her!

Was looking for new primary, and was EXTREMELY disappointed! Office is out of date, they use a complete paper system from rxs to charts. Was looking into medical marijuana but she charges 500 $ up front out of pocket to certify you! I work in billing and a Rheumatologist billing highest level exam for an hour charges insurances that much. She is very cold, uncaring, questioned everyone of my specialists treatment, I would never go back !!

I would NEVER recommend this Dr to anyone!!! In less than two weeks of being a new patient in that office, two enormous prescription mistakes were made. I made a formal complaint with my insurance company against this office for medical misconduct.

The absolute worst experience. The worst part is, is I knew how cold, inefficient and careless she is, but felt I had no other option being that I am extremely sick and needed to be seen. 4 years ago we actually had her as our sons physician, but have longggggg since moved on from her AVERAGE at best services. Thanks again for nothing and for wasting my time and money. I for the second time after seeing this questionable "doctor" went elsewhere for a second opinion, and got the opposite result

I love her. I had ignored significant health issues while moving out of state and going through a difficult divorce. She helped me get back on track with referrals to specialists where appropriate and guiding me through making some better choices about my health. She is helpful, forthright but not judgmental. Part of why I put off going to a doctor for so long was that I didn't want the lectures. She just helped.

Awful bedside manner. Very rude. Makes you feel uncomfortable. Do NOT go to her if you expect a doctor who listens to you and actually CARES. Because she does not.

She is rude and has a terrible bedside manner. Usually doesn't listen to you and doesn't seem to care. Our family sees. Dr Hausler and he is great. Would not recommend her to anyone.
