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.

Great doctor and office staff!
Dr. Benzaquen is a great compassionate, knowledgeable neurologist and always makes me feel welcome and respected! His office staff are the nicest around!

We are in the process of leaving after over 10 years. Dr. Max is nice but my husband has never gotten much attention. He is in and out. Sometimes in then out to do something and then back in to finish, We are older with not great hearing and he has an accent and hard to understand sometimes. But the straw that broke the camel's back is the lady at the desk. She can be a witch. She is terrible at returning phone calls and can be very argumentative. I think that she probably has to many jobs but that shouldn't't be my problem.

Dr Benzequen is truly amazing and brilliant. I have been a patient since a major head injury in 2009. He has nearly eliminated my pain and takes the time to listen and help his patients. Recently he has helped my boyfriend with the after effects of 2 strokes. Dr Benzequen's knowledge, experience and compassion are beyond compare. He is direct, personable and very good at what he does. I highly recommend him.

HAVE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR. BENZAQUEN SINCE 2014 AFTER HE DIAGNOSED MY CHRONIC SEVERE SYMPTOMS AS C.I.D.P. A RARE NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION. HE WAS THE 17TH NEUROLOGIST I HAD CONSULTED INCLUDING THREE TRIPS TO MAYO CLINIC AND IT ONLY TOOK HIM LESS THAN THREE HOURS TO MAKE THE DIAGNOSES AND THE NEXT DAY HOSPITALIZED AND STARTED IVIG INFUSION THERAPY TO HOPEFULLY SLOW DOWN DISESE PROGRESSION. OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS OF TREATMENT WE HAVE LEARNED WHY IS TERMED THE "GENIUS" BY OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

Dr. Benzequen is terrific. Unfortunately, you'll have to interact with his office staff which will sour your experience severely. Until he selects a new office assistant, we will not be spending our $150 / visit fee with him anymore.
