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.

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the promptness and professional care given to my son. Our experience at this facility was of the quickest and best we have ever encountered. Dr. Benfanti and staff was incredibly friendly and professional. I especially loved how Dr. Benfanti really took his time to explain my sons condition with my husband and I as well as his treatment options. His demeanor has really put me at ease so I highly recommend this clinic.

Dr. Benfanti and his staff are absolutely wonderful. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to explain everything to us. I was solo with a busy one year old and a 3 year old with a broken leg and the staff went above and beyond to help me; Including the x-ray technician (Cindy!) carrying my daughter to the x-ray room, Dr. Benfanti pushing my son in the stroller to the casting room, and the casting staff laughing and playing with my kids. The atmosphere was inviting and kid friendly - even having children's movies on in the waiting room and casting room. I was so impressed with the entire staff and experience. Thank you Dr. Benfanti & team!!
