Dr ben is the most rudest POS doctor I have ever brought my child too.he talks down to his patients and judges!like what the heck!I just wish he would retire already.he is also rude.he sure does love to call DC on people cause we had it done to us recently.all because my daughter dr didnt want him peeking at her down there.i agree stay far away from this man.and get a new pediatrician it's what we did and now were happy.

I do NOT like Dr, Ben. His condsecending tone and lack of educate explanations are completely unprofessional and unecceptable. The front end staff is short and quite rude on the phone. Bottom line,I should have listened to my gut and left that office running after he shamed me on our first visit.

I'm discussed w Dr. Ben n his nurse! We took our son in because he had a rash on his thighs, butt and stomach. When our son was being examined naked he started to cry cuz he's very shy n doesn't like people seeing him naked. So Dr.Ben asked him if he was being abused! He said no of course n after the exam n poor diagnosis of the rash just being a "rash" we left very unhappy. N to make matters worse DCF shows up at our house 2 hours later!!!! We are excellent parents n have never had DCF come to our house or anything like that! For Christs sake I was a patient of Dr.bens when I was a child! I've have trusted my sons health in his hands for all his 7 years. My son has lost 10lbs in 8 months do to ADHD meds n he says its no big deal! My family is very well connected in this community n I will never recommend him to anyone again.

I been to this dr just once but he seams to be ok,to those who think they should switch to dr Susan Williams please DON'T ,dr Williams did X-ray of my child's lungs and never told me that asthma showed in the X-ray until we demanded referral with asthma specialist then we found out the X-ray Williams did like 5 months prior showed asthma symptoms,she is an idiot dr she's a money taker and that all she cares for ,she's luckie my husband was in war at that time and I had no time to sue her ass in court,shame on her!!!!

I Have been taking my daughter to Dr. Ben for 15 years. She was one of his first patients as I met him as soon as he moved here with his family back in '96. He is very friendly and so great with kids. Lately I have felt a bit rushed when seeing him, probably because of his huge work load and I don't always think that the ladies at the front desk are as friendly as they could be, but overall, we are happy with Dr. Ben. We will miss him when my daughter turns 18!
