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.

She is excellent.

Emily is one of the only healthcare providers who looks beyond mental health issues to see the physical health issues that, at times, spurs the mental health issue. She doesn't judge our looks, she treats her patients. I don't feel I can say that about many Franciscan professionals.

Emily Benson always provides multiple appropriate options for potential care and is good at putting me in charge of the ultimate decision. She explains details in a way that encourages my questions and insures I understand the pros and cons of treatment options

told her repeatedly I couldn't breathe. She kept looking up my nose and saying "hm". Refused to refer me to specialist. I later saw specialist after he removed half of my thyroid and said, "by the way, I can't breathe." Dr. looked up my nose and said, "that's bad, but I can fix it for you. Would you like that? " I replied "Yes" Turned out I had a deviated septum and Dr. performed a bilateral septoplasty and turbinectomy, which took care of my breathing problem. Emily Benson clearly knows nothing about the anatomy of the nose and doesn't care about referring her patients to appropriate doctors for treatment. I have no respect for her behavior on that issue. She acted as though if she could not see a problem, it did not exist, and she was dead wrong!
