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.

Listens well.
Dr. Behnke really listens well. I like that he cares about about you as a patient. Wonderful Dr. and person.

Skilled and Compassionate
Many years ago, when my primary care doctor announced he was moving out of state, I was diligent with trying to find the best doctor. Dr. Behnke has been perfect, and over the years he has continually earned my trust. Dr. Behnke brings a combination of experience and a pragmatic approach to medicine, along with great communication and genuine compassion. I give him my highest recommendation.

Dr. Behnke is the best!
I’ve been going to see Dr. Behnke since I was a very young child. I’m 45 now, and I’ll still always go back to him. Glad he is my doctor.

Follow up to ER visit
The doctor isn’t spending as much time with patients as he used to during a visit, am sure there’s an insurance payment issue with that change. I contacted the practice on september 25 to schedule an annual physical and was told he had no appointments available till decemvee 24th the day before Christmas, but if I would agree to see NP Courtney that treated could be moved up. It was but to November 19th. So 2 months to see a NP or 3 to see the Doctor. Gotta do better than that. When you do visit either one of these providers, you better be able to rattle off your list of conditions or health issues as fast as an auctioneer as they only have so much time 4 you.

One of the nicest doctors I've met.
I see Dr Behnke every 4 months for routine follow-up. The receptionists welcome me with smiles, small chat and always use my name. They are the first people you see and that means a lot. Dr Behnke always comes in with a smile, answers any questions I have. He has a spectacular bedside manner. Which is very important. I've been seeing him for over 30 years. My sister's see him as well. I would definitely recommend him.

Assistant Courtney mickelson
PA Courtney mickelson ordered a ct scan for a hernia I had never complained about during a routine Pap smear. She wanted to make sure insurance would pay called a week later set up scan. Results negative had no symptoms of hernia. Scan came back negative and now I’m stuck with 6k bill. Called office over and over again. No one would talk to me. Called again and Debbie at front desk yelled and said I have to pay bill. She isn’t a doctor and ordered a unnecessary test not telling me I have to pay 6k. My credit is ruined they don’t care to help me. No cooperation or acknowledge that they made a mistake and should have made sure my insurance would pay. I called my insurance and they told me they told Debbie that I was not covered for this test. Horrible situation !!! Treated like dirt by the office. Horrible experience will never go back. I’m stuck with this bill I cannot afford to pay Please don’t visit this medical group
