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.

My husband had an MRI ordered by Dr. Benson. It came back showing a tumor in bone of shoulder as metastatic cancer. Dr. Benson said the radiologist was probably paid by the number of words he wrote and it really was arthritis. He was told not to get the biopsy his urologist ordered. They never get enough of a sample and keep doing it. Said my husband didn’t need to go through that. We did have a biopsy at Northwestern and my husband has stage 4 lung cancer metastasized to his bones! Dr. Benson should not be practicing medicine!!

Dr. Benson is a very good surgeon. He took very good care of me for my hand and for my arm (fractured humerus) The first couple of times I saw him for a consultation he was stressed and he was a little impatient. When he had to really take care of a fracture, he was patient, explaining everything carefullyg

Dr Benson is an extremely gifted surgeon, and really puts the patient's needs first. I was a difficult/challenging case, and he took the time needed with me. My surgery required a follow up procedure, as his attention to detail coupled with his passion with outcomes really makes him the choice for complex wrist surgeries.
