Dr. Alec Beningfield is a wonderful doctor. He listened attentively to my concerns, made a thorough diagnosis with clear explanations, and charted my course to recovery. I never felt rushed. My prescriptions were called in on time to my pharmacy, and all additional testing, diagnostic work, and my follow-up appointment were scheduled at the same time. My visit couldn't have been better, and most importantly, I feel Dr. Beningfield has my best interests in mind.
