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.

Dr. Benedict, a human being.
When I first met Dr. Benedict, I was going thru chemo and just wanted to go home. However, his gentle nature and real compassion took only one visit to win me over. He has taken care of my eyes for 10 years, staving off the effects of diabetes, including glaucoma, heart disease, neuropathy, and cataracts. He removed my brother’s cataracts and my brother , every day says “the doctor is a genius and super skilled as a surgeon and a human being”. It’s so unfortunate that he is retiring, unfortunate for patients. A new doctor will be at my next appointment. I wish Dr. Benedict joy and the Lord’s. Countenance always always.on him. Have a fantastic retirement Dr. Benedict.

First time but certainly not the last
I had the privilege of going here for the first time but I was certainly treated as if I had been there many times. From reception, through tests and seeing the doctor, I was treated with respect and genuine concern. Found a definite home for all our eye needs. Thank you Dr. Benedict.

WONDERFUL RESULTS
Dr. Benedict performed my cataract surgery 3 years ago. I had an annual checkup yesterday. I still see 20/20. Here's a tip: My vision kept improving after the surgery on each eye. It took 3 to 4 months to get "perfect" vision. It was so pleasant to realize my eyesight kept getting better and better. I think some have great vision right away. Mine was fine right away, but kept improving as I healed from the surgery. Dr. Benedict answers any questions kindly and completely.

Good experience
I had a one-year follow-up to eye surgery. I expressed a concern I had, and Dr. Benedict addressed it. The young woman who initially took me back to a room, Betty, was very pleasant and explained what she was doing.

Dr. Benedict is informative and answers my questions without hesitation. He is kind, courteous, and thorough with every examination. He's also personable and easy going with a very good bedside manner. He explains in detail what to expect before a surgery or procedure and afterwards strict instructions to be followed. I will always use him as my eye care specialist. He's awesome!!!!
