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.

The Best
I can personally attest to the fact that all positive reviews of Dr. Bennett are accurate. I first saw her 12 yrs ago and last saw her last week. She is congenial and patient, even with persons with various disabilities. Dr. Bennett listens well, and she explains things well during and after her thorough exams. In addition to being knowledgeable about her own expertise, she is informative and helpful regarding insurance coverage and referrals to additional services and local resources -- if needed or requested.I highly recommend her to anyone of any age.

Dr. Bennett saw both myself and my husband. I really like her as I have been going to her for a couple of years. She talks plain English and is not pretentious at all, I really appreciate that. She has a new office tech, Victoria, who seems very friendly and all the ball as well.

Entire office and medical staff very aware of and practicing COVID precautions: text from parking lot upon arrival, wear mask, sanitary wipes and hand cleanser dispensers both in lobby and in medical office, social distancing, etc. I have an ongoing issue which brought me to Dr. Bennett several years ago. She solved the problem on the first visit when I was suffering terribly from horrible vertigo, and has seen me on a regular basis since then to insure that my ear canals are not having issues. She always remembers my details and always shows that any distress that I might suffer matters to her.

...first time seeing Dr. Bennett. All I can say is, "I am in awe!". She presents herself as professional, comfortingl, efficient and has a plethora of knowledge; a medical professional who is also a real person. I felt at ease and that I have know her for awhile (even though we had just met)! I could tell that she loves what she does and she does it well. Matter of fact, Stephanie (Medical Assistant?) has similar qualities that you don't find in today's world. Dr. Ledda...never so impressed with past appointments of this type (else where) as I was with her. You rock, Dr. Leddo! You guys, I most certainly appreciate all aspects of your professionalism and am so glad to meet you all, as I continue to use your services, when needed. Many, many thanks. Sincerely, Myra Clayton

I was referred to Dr. Bennett for nosebleed that I had been having daily. I don't handle pain well but Dr. put me at ease immediately.. She recognized & acknowledged my apprehension regarding my pain issues.. Not all Doctors do. I would recommend her to anybody.

I was recommended by my PCP a year ago for a hearing test. I found her very personable. She was friendly and explained the hearing test to me The office called me to set up this appointment, as it was time for another hearing test. In the mean time, I had developed a problem of swollen glands under my mandible. She wants me to have an MRI, plus gave some other instructions about some other treatments to use in the mean time. She definitely knows her medicine. .

Dr. Bennett treated my daughter as a trauma patient with multiple facial fractures. Though the injury was severe, Dr. Bennett did a great job putting out daughter back together. She has a great bedside manner, and was really in tune with the patients needs. She worked closely with us to examine, choose and follow the best course of treatment for our daughter. Months later we visited a plastic surgeon who praised Dr. Bennett's work and said there was nothing to improve on what she had done.
