    I would stay clear away from this place. One of the most questionable and in my opinion shadiest doctor's offices I've ever spoken with. This has a "grey area" office feel to it. I definitely got the feel it's a "money grab" service. The doctor has only one assistant who only communicates via text messages.They require a ridiculous $250 fee just to speak to the doctor while also still requiring your copay and will also bill your insurance for the same consultation you paid $250 for. The doctor himself has the attitude of a highly entitled, elitist, narcissist who has been told far too many times how good he is and who believes his patients are peons. To make this so bad this is the experience just to set up an initial appointment lol it's comical this place is practicing medicine. If this is how they treat patients before providing service and charging thousands of dollars. I would hate to see how they treat patients after providing service. You would receive better service going to a minute clinic for a common cold. Do yourself a favor and keep looking for more reputable doctors. Not sure how long much longer this office will be in business.

    I went to see Dr Bennett two separate times for a tear in my shoulder. The first time at his office was in the morning. He was 30 minutes late for the appointment. Neither his nurse nor he introduced themselves. He was very interested in having me do PRP and surgery to fix the tear. Fine. What also would have been helpful would be to have also been told that I could have had a cortisone shot to alleviate the inflammation and decrease the amount of pain that I was in. Dr. Bennett is a man of few words, so it was no surprise that since I hadn't asked, he hadn't told. The second time I went to see Dr Bennett for a follow up, he was 45 minutes late and again had little in the way of words. I decided that with his level of bedside manner that I would push on to another doctor that seemed to take some interest in my condition. I'm happy that I moved on.

    I sought out Dr. Bennett as I was hoping to avoid a knee replacement and learn more about stem cell options. On my first visit, I was the only patient in the office and I was a little creeped out by this. I waited several minutes and Dr. Bennett finally walked in the room. He didn't even look at me or introduce himself. He was looking at the forms I had filled out. He acted very "heady", asked me a few questions, briefly examined my knee and said I should get an MRI. On my urging, he briefly explained the prp and stem cell therapies. I got the MRI & returned 2 days later. Again, very creepy, I was the only patient. Like at my first visit, he did not make me feel comfortable or like he cared. After going over my options, he gave me only a 60% chance of not needing a knee replacement after all. I was extremely disappointed that in 2 visits Dr. Bennett didn't make me feel comfortable or confident, and assumed I understood the prp and stem cell therapies. I chose not to return as my impression of Dr. Bennett was not good.

    Fantastic Doctor and Staff. So many times we only take the time to express our feelings when things go wrong, I am going to write that things went right. Finding Dr. Bennett and his staff has been life changing. A year of agonizing frozen shoulder had left me frustrated and in pain. Dr. Bennett was able to arthroscopically help with my frozen shoulder while fixing other problems in the shoulder. I opted for Stem Cell procedure with the PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) and I am very happy. Although it has only been 8 weeks since the surgery I have a noticeable change in my range of motion and can see that I will continue to progress. The staff has been incredible; Henry started the ball rolling with his kind words and expertise in navigating the insurance world to ensure that all was documented correctly & Maya has been consistently encouraging through the painful but necessary physical therapy so that I can have the best results possible. Everyone is personable, kind and knowledgeable in their field. Thank you for giving me my life back.

    I have found that when you are an athlete of any sort and you are hurting, you should always go to the best possible for medical help. I did and Dr. Bennett not only helped me he saved me from the pain that I had. I know that while I was mending and in rehab after the surgery, and after listening to the other patients with similar surgeries, I made the right choice for me. I believe that my healing process was excellent since I choose the right Doctor.

    I had PRP (platelet -rich plasma) done by Dr Bennett and I am very pleased with the results. Three months after surgery I could walk and golf and swim with no pain in my knees. I don’t know how long it will last but I am very grateful for my renewed active life. Thank you Dr Bennett Laraine Gillespie

    Great doctor/surgeon! He repaired my torn rotator cuff I received from an injury. I had very little pain and my recovery has been great. Much better than even the Dr. had anticipated. His bed side manor was super. He explained everything and was very polite. Others mentioned he seemed arrogant. That was not my experience. He is a man of few words, that's all. Regardless, I did not hire him for his bed side manor I hired him for his expertise and he did a great job! His office staff was the best! Better than any I have ever encountered.

    Dr. Bennett and his staff are extraordinary in their willingness to discuss and explain every detail.. no question goes unanswered and Dr. Bennett has the unique patience and ability of wording answers a non-clinician can easily process and thoroughly understand. I went to this practice for ankle accessment and treatment from a surgery I had 44 years prior which had deteriorated with age and use. I had all but given up hope, having been dismissed by other surgeons. Dr. Bennett provided options and relief!

    I suffered torn meniscus recently and Dr Bennett is the key to my recovery. Not only did he heal a friend of mine from her motorcycle accident but I was back on my motorcycle within 3 days of surgery! Dr B uses PRP therapy and I believe that improved my healing time 100 %! I'd recommend him to anyone! I'd say Im at 95% or better and its only 4 weeks later. There isn't a better more experienced Dr in my humble opinion.

    I am very satisfied with the care I received at Dr. Bennett's. My surgery went very well, without any complications. Dr. Bennett is a excellent surgeon. Henry, the office manager, is very efficient and responded quickly to my questions. Maya, my physical therapist, is terrific and really helped my recovery. If you are considering this office for your care, don't hesitate!

    Did not have a pleasant experience with Dr. Bennett. I was going in to get a professional opinion on what I should do for my knee. Upon arrival he didn’t greet me but instead sat in his office while trying to communicate with me. I was asked what happened, why I was there, and if I had filled forms out. I explained to him what I was there for how it happened and that I did fill those forms out. He asked about my family physician and where it was located and when saying where it was he corrected me and made me feel stupid about my directions. Over all just giving me egotistical man vibes. I do not recommend him unless you like that toxic masculinity.

    I'm writing this testimonial to Dr. Bennett about the rotator cuff surgery that he did on my right shoulder. I was very impressed with the outcome. I had no pain and was lifting my surgery arm while holding a ream of paper straight out with no discomfort 2 weeks from the day of my surgery. I had the same surgery in the 90's by a Dr. in Milwaukee and had nothing but pain and 5 months of physical therapy to get back to work. I have been referring everyone I know to Dr. Bennett because of the excellent work he did on my shoulder. In closing, I hope the Lord will continue to guide Dr. Bennetts hands, and grant him a long and successful career.

    It has been six months since Dr Bennett did my right rotator cuff surgery. I have no pain and full movement of my arm. I choose to have stem cells with this surgery and I feel this is the primary reason for the quick healing. I had surgery on my left rotator cuff one year before the right with out the stem cells and it never healed properly. I fell Dr. Bennett is an exceptional surgeon and I highly recommend him to anyone needing any orthopedic surgery. Thank you so much Dr. Bennett!

  • 5/5 Patricia R. 5 years ago on Google
    I received 4 PRP injections on the outer areas of my knees on February 27, 2019. Dr. Bennett used ultrasound to guide him to the spots to inject. The procedure was quite painless. Within 2 weeks I no longer had pain in the left knee. Within five weeks I no longer had pain in my right knee. After extensive research, I learned that all PRP is not equal, and that it was important to chose a surgeon with much experience in this field. Dr. Bennett was was my first choice, and I am so grateful to him for his outstanding work.

    A long time sports injury is no more after visiting this orthopedic office. 6 months after surgery I'm back to playing like I was when I was younger. Thank you again.

    I was not going to get sugery on ym knee because of the risks involved...thankfully, Dr. Bennett recommended a new treatment called PRP with stem cells and I wouldn't need surgery. 8 months since I've had my last injection, and my knee is as good as ever. I am so thankful I found out about this and that it worked ...and I never got surgery. thank god.

    I recommend Dr. Bennett because even though he was a little brash, he knows what he's talking about. Other orthopedic surgeons all wanted to treat me with surgery. Dr. Bennett recommended PRP and stem cells which he is an expert in (I checked publications and credentials) before agreeing to anything. I'm now on my 2nd course of treatment and I can feel a noticeable difference and improvement in function. I will continue to remain a patient.

    My experience with Dr. Bennett was this a lot of the reviews are correct in the way he runs his office and personality however I had 2 tears in my shoulder and other doctors wanted to do surgery not giving me any other options, I found Dr. Bennett and his PRP injections to be the best alternative to surgery. I am extremely Thankful to have found him and this procedure, it is basically pain free with a very fast healing time. I would highly recommend Dr. Bennett to anyone wanting options other than surgery. Thank you Dr. Bennett
