We discovered Dr Bennett through a conversation with a national champion NCAA coach who said he only sent his athletes to Dr Bennett. We were not disappointed. When our high school daughter suffered a knee injury in a basketball game, we were amazed at the time he took with her explaining exactly what had happened and what was going to happen. And he talked to her so she understood, not the parents. When she applied to the Air Force Academy and the admissions medical team had questions about her knee, he personally wrote a long letter of explanation as to all aspects of her knee. She was accepted into the Air Force Academy and is now a C-17 pilot serving in the US Air Force. When it came to me and my recent shoulder problem, Dr Bennett did not jump into surgery, but emphasized trying Physical Therapy or cortisone initially. But when it was evident surgery was required, he explained everything to me in detail and I never felt more comfortable going into surgery with the knowledge he had imparted to me on the process. He has shown he takes the time and effort to ensure the individual is completely in the loop as to what has happened and what will happen. And during the process he gave me his personal text number, not an answering service number, so he immediately could respond to any questions on my part. I would highly recommend Dr Bennett to anyone requiring his specialty.

I was referred to Dr. Bennett by a family member. I've been dealing with knee pain for years. Dr. Bennett is clearly experienced in his field but, what was surprising, was how well he listened to me. He took his time and reviewed several treatment options instead of just pushing surgery. He ended the appointment by making sure I understood my options and offered me multiple ways to contact him should I have any more questions. I don't know any doctors that show this much compassion. Dr. Bennett cares about his patients and wants to make sure their treatment is successful. My condition has improved significantly all thanks to Dr. Bennett.

Dr Bennett takes the time to get to know your concerns and makes you comfortable. Let's face it, nobody wants to have surgery. Knowing you can trust that your doctor has your best interests at heart makes it much easier to face. I have no complaints about his bedside manner or taking time to address my many concerns.

Thank You Dr Bennett for making a difficult time much easier.

I saw a string of doctors before being referred to doctor Bennett. He was the first doctor to actually do something about my pain! He helped turn my life around. He is a great doctor who cares about his patients. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need.

My son was injured playing basketball. Did my research and made an appointment with Dr. Bennett. He confirmed what I feared-torn ACL. Explained his technique for repairing and how he considers the age and sport when deciding the best type of surgery. He doesn’t look at each patient or injury as the same as someone else. I liked that approach. Had no trouble scheduling surgery. His staff were very communicative as was Dr. Bennett. Surgery and rehab went great. I think my son’s knee is better than before. Also, Dr. Bennett gave me his cell and actually called me back on a Sunday evening when I had a question.

I'm a former athlete now in my 50s and am experiencing the after effects of a physically demanding sport. Dr. Bennett was referred to me by a former teammate and I'm so glad she did! I've never had a doctor take that much time with me. I never felt rushed and he is clearly knowledgeable about working with aging athletes. He gave me several treatment options and did not push surgery which is rare for a surgeon. I opted for the PRP injections and am feeling so much better. I hope I never need surgery but, if I do, I will be going back to Dr. Bennett. Also, he gave me his cell phone number in case I had any questions. He clearly cares about his patients. Will refer all of my former teammates, friends and family to him!
