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.

Terrible Care
Very unprofessional and cold during a challenging time in my life. I wouldn’t recommend this office for menopausal support. I was treated like a number and disregarded after he performed my hysterectomy.

I have had Dr Benoit since 1992 and I can’t say enough about him! From the birth of my children to my many female surgeries he’s always been top notch. I would recommend him or anyone in his office. I just love that man as a person and a Dr.

I was referred by my doctor, whom I have been with for 20+ years, as he is no longer doing surgeries. I was petrified to go to anyone new, as I have put my trust in my doctor only for so long. I was immediately put at ease with Dr Benoit. Extremely knowledgeable, open to discussing my concerns and fears. He was so patient, both during appointments and ultimately my surgery. He had an EXCELLENT bedside manor, both with me as his patient and with my husband. SO HAPPY!!!

During both my high-risk pregnancies and beyond, Dr. Benoit has proven to be an experienced and highly capable doctor. He is also very kind and caring. My husband and I trust him completely and recommend him without any reservations.

DR BENOIT WAS AMAZING AND I WOULD RECOMEND HIM TO ANYONE!! HE WAS SO COMFORTING AND WARM THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE PREGNANCY AND C-SECTION DELIVERY OF MY DAUGHTER. HIS KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO EXPALIN THINGS TO MY HUSBAND AND I WAS WONDERFUL. THIS HELPED EASE THE ANXIETY OF HAVING OUR FIRST BABY. I HAVE ALSO WITNESSED HIS SPLIT SECOND DECISION MAKING AND HIS ABILITY TO STILL HAVE A LEVEL HEAD WHEN BABY AND MOM NEED HIM.

Best, respectful bedside manner. He always takes the time to answer any questions. Never rushes or makes you feel like a number. Delivered my 4 babies and even in the face of some emergent decisions, was cool and confident. I have always felt I was in the best of hands.
