Dr. Benjamin Askins, MD

Dr Askins has been my PCP for over 10 years. He is the best at listening to my concerns and explaining treatment. He cares, he’s professional and he never seems rushed or distant.

He fails to listen to what symptoms or problems you have and tries to diagnose you based on whatever he feels your problem is that day. Always takes the conversation back to himself or what he’s had happen in the past while not listening to what you say and telling his stories. He honestly seems like he doesn’t care about what happens to his patients or what they are feeling. You have to schedule your whole day around how long it takes to actually see him which is usually about an hour after your appointment time and then he rushes to get it done and get you out within 10 minutes of seeing him without you having the chance to tell him what’s going on in depth. He has never prescribed me anything that has actually been for whatever the problem is. Had a cough for a month and a half and got anti anxiety/ itch medication. You sprain something he doesn’t prescribe an anti inflammatory or anything just says to find one.

Literally hands down the best doctor I’ve ever had. Extremely thorough. Very personable and easy to relate to. He doesn’t risk through your appointment. He makes sure the patient is fully satisfied each and every visit. I’ve recommended him to every family member I know.

He’s a hack! Never follows up and makes the wrong diagnosis. Stay away from this guy. He thinks he is good but couldn’t be further from the truth. Lexington medical center is not good as well. Find you a private practice. It will be better.

He's casual but very attentive and willing to help you. It seems he enjoys his job and wants to help people. One of the best doctors around.

Went to this doctor at LMC urgent care. He diagnosed me and had excellent bed side manner. I am very impressed.
