This Man is a genius. 12 years ago I had a tri mal fx on My left ankle. Orthopedic did My surgery. I was off work for 4 months due to pain, swelling and therapy. I broke My right ankle May 31 24 tri mal fx and Dr B did My surgery on my right ankle June 1st 24 and the plan of care was totally different from my other surgery. Today is 10 weeks post op and I'm walking under my own power and DID NOT need therapy. NO PAIN Whatsoever. Word to the wise. DO NOT LET ORTHOPEDIC FIX YOUR ANKLE FX. REQUEST, BEG FOR DR B TO DO YOUR SURGERY. GOD BLESS THIS MAN

After 30 years, multiple pediatrists, foot doctors, living with pain, Dr Benenati has provided and guided me to resolve my issues with various solutions, other than unnecessary surgeries. His ability to diagnosis and provide clear and effective treatments, I am living pain free today and continue to do so. I am providing a recommendation to anyone looking to resolve their issues with his approaches.

I highly recommend Dr. Benenati for the fact that he is an exceptional foot surgeon. He was able to correct my problem that none of my other doctors could do. He is such a caring thoughtful person who takes the time to listen to you and answer any questions you might have. Yes I would highly recommend him!

I have had 10 years of pain in my left heel - an extremely sore spot that interfered with my walking and at times throbbed so much that it would keep me awake at night. There was nothing I could do to alleviate the pain. 8 years ago, I was sent for an MRI that showed a fibroma but the 3-4 podiatrist/surgeons I saw over the years afterwards would only prescribe PT and orthotics for my "plantar fasciitis" because they couldn't feel the lump in my heel. A friend recommended Dr Benenati - he read the MRI report, did an exam and xray and wanted to help me. I had surgery to remove the fibroma about a month ago and immediately following surgery, I had less pain than before, despite the surgical incision. The fibroma was gone! I'm looking forward to being back to normal.

I’ve had two surgeries performed by Dr Benenati, both were highly successful. Dr Benenati is very personable and yet still very profession. He explains everything in detail, both pre and post surgery. He explained things so that a non-medical professional could understand. The medical care provided by Dr Benenati is exceptional, he is very good at what he does! The office staff is amazing, they are kind, professional and very easy to work with. Every appointment was on-time and without long waits in the exam room. I would highly recommend Dr. Benenati and his practice to anyone who needs care in his field.

Second surgery Oct 29th. No pain at all and walking 4 days later. Both surgery I was schedule for 7:30am and I was home by 11am Dr Benenati and staff very professional and all appt after the surgery I’ve been taken care of promptly. Would recommend Dr Benenati

Went to see Dr. Benenati for the first time today. I have been dealing with a problem for several years that was causing daily foot pain. I was greeted by a very polite, friendly staff. Then Dr. Benenati came into the room. I explained my problem and he say's "we'll take care of that". Well, by the time I walked out of the office, I thought I had a new foot! I'm thinking, why didn't I see this guy years ago. For the first time in years, I am walking pain free. Thank you Dr. Benenati!

Dr. Benenati performed bunionectomy surgery on my left & right foot in May '99 & August '99 respectively. Both surgeries + healing went very well. Fast forward to July 2018, I suffered a horrendous fall/injury that ruptured my Achilles. Dr. Benenati was called to the ER & he remembered me from my surgeries in '99! Dr. B was informative, professional, supportive, did EXCELLENT work to repair my Achillles and he & his staff have helped me tremendously each step of the way throughout my healing.

Wait time is terrible. If you have an appointment at 2 you may be seen at 3-3:30. After you listen to him talk to other older patients for long periods of time your appointment will feel extremely rushed . Once he comes to see you he will begin walking towards the door. After three visits and over $500 in co-pays (I cannot afford) the same condition since the first day I began with him. I am in so much pain and only prescribed Mobic. If your name is Italian it may help. He never remembers you.

Don't be in a hurry .. depending on who he is treating you can be waiting an hour (that's just part of the unknown of who may need a lot of his time because of unforeseen problems) My advice call and see if he is running late before you leave your home. Staff is very nice and he was as well but I did let him know I wasn't thrilled about the wait. I will be having surgery on a couple weeks. Hope to have something positive to say!

I'm very active and when I went to Dr. Benenati with foot pain he touched it for less than a second and knew just what it was. He explained it very well and made me feel at ease about everything I was to expect along with surgery. He takes each case personal with care down to the very last stitch as not to leave a scare. I was so pleased with him, his skills, his office staff they are all great and the after care and follow up visits. So if your looking for a foot Dr. He's the one. Thank You..

Dr Benenati is a great podiatrist. I had severe nail fungus for years. After just 3 laser treatments, my fungus is completely gone and my toes look better than they ever have. His staff was very knowledgeable and pleasant and the overall experience was amazing. I would highly recommend Dr. Benenati to all of my friends and colleagues.

I can't even imagine why in the world this doctor would receive anything less than five stars. From start to finish of my treatment he was very attentive and listened to all of my concerns and answered every last question. He took his time and I never felt rushed. The staff is amazing too, friendly and very informative. I have sent family members and friends to him and they all said what a wonderful experience they had.

I have been a patient for Dr. Benenati for eight years. From our first meeting until my most recent appointment today, Dr. Benenati has been most professional in his demeanor and takes the time always to thoroughly explain options for your particular situation. He takes his time and makes you feel very comfortable and answers any questions you may have. His staff is WONDERFUL and pleasant. I have been to other podiatrists...Dr. Benenati and his staff are far SUPERIOR!
