Dr. Benton is an all time favorite. Very attentive, helpful, explains things well including options and risk/benefits. He's very keen and preemptive to questions and concerns I have. Several years, and a new patient, ago I was asked to evaluate him and provide feedback. I opted to wait because all too often first and few encounters are not telling. I can know give him full accolades and praise with confidence!!!
