I love Dr. Benchimol. He is kind, compassionate and takes good care of me. I had several lumpsin my breasts and he encouraged me to do something about them. I had surgery, radiation therapy and chemo, came through it all with flying colors. His good words helped me take care of my self.

I have been seeing Dr. Benchimol . for close to 30 years. I have always been satisfied with his staff and his personal care, usually once a year for yearly checkups and as I got older a little more frequent. A little over 7 years ago he detected a problem and sent me to a specialist which in turn determined I needed a transplant. I attribute those extra years in my life to Dr. Benchimol for his
professionalism and care.

Dr. B has been my PCP for over 15 years. He is gentle and kind. He makes referral to other medical services when needed...no begging needed. He is also a great listener and respects my input as part of my patient care team. All-in-all...a great physician.
