Dr. John Benavides, DO

I have never been so disappointed in a doctor in my life! I was yelled at by Dr. Bevavides for missing an appointment which ended up being the office's mistake. I had my appointment card to show for the correct appointment date and time.....which I showed up for. I was treated like an addict for asking for pain meds to help control the pain that I was having after having several blown discs in my neck. He has terrible bedside manners and I would definitely not recommend this physician.

If your goal, when suffering severe, debilitating pain (severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, joints so swollen they're almost useless), is to find a condescending doctor who makes an elderly lady feel like a criminal, every visit for asking for pain meds so she can at least be a shadow of her former self, Benavides is your doctor.

Loved Dr. Var gas when he worked for Paragon. Did not care for this doctors condosending almost rude behavior. I'm 62 and have never encountered this from any doctor.to this degree. The office will not give me my records, MRI results so I basically have seen no doctor the last year, but found a good family doctor who is great. I hope your encounter with him are much better than mine. He does have a good knowledge of the body. I do not believe he is listened to do steroid shots and that is all I wanted to continue after Dr Vargas left.

I have never had a Doctor treat me with such rude behavior in all my 69 years. Would not listen to me. Acted angry. Gave me the same speal about starting some medication in two visits but never called the prescription in after the first visit. Told me when i decided i needed a steroid shot to just call and schedule an appointment other wise we were done. I will die in pain before ever setting foot in the facility again.

I was A patient of Dr. Benavides for I believe seven years. And he is a fantastic Dr who actually listens to you about what's going on with your body. Not one of the Dr's that tell you what's going on with you. He can laugh with his patients or he can be strict whichever one is necessary with each patient. The ONLY bad thing I have to say is.. That he discharged a bunch of patients do to a treatment method. So he no longer is my Dr. My plan was to stay with him as long as I need PM.

A very caring doctor with genuine compassion towards his patients.

He kicked me out of his practice and accused me of selling dope when i was not doing any such thing. He said he had to assume the worst out of me. That kind of attitude isn't the kind of mindset a good doctor should have, assuming the worst out of people. Since he wrote a letter stating his practice is going away, I'm just thinking he must have told one person too many to not visit his clinic anymore.
