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.

Thoughtful, Thorough and Understanding
Dr. Benke is a fantastic PCP who is always pleasant, kind, and interested to know how my health is impacting my life. She takes her time and always makes you feel like you and your health matter to her. I couldn't be happier with her care.

Dr. Benke is a refreshing pleasure in the medical profession. I chose her as my primary after our former MD retired. She is very compassionate & a good listener. Most importantly, she is very competent & I trust her assessment skills. I have referred other family & friends to her for their care. Excellent practitioner.

Dr. Benke and her staff are all I could have hoped for in a medical practitioner. She was appointed my primary care physician and I was a little skeptical at first wondering how my initial consultation was going to go with a Dr that I had not met with. What a sense of relief I had within the first 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Benke and engaging her in conversation about my needs and questions. She is hands-down one of the best medical doctors I have met and her manner is calm, positive, thorough,

I found her to be rigid in her thinking, quick to assess without all the relevant data, and judgemental. She even told me her judgements of my other doctors without having heard my medical history. She should not have shared her judgements even if she had them. And I would have never seen her if I knew her Scripps bio was a misrepresentation of the care she gives - she does not do any Osteopathic manipulation. I have found too many other good doctors out there to waste any more time with her.
