Dr. Benjamin is great. While I was hoping for a clearer understanding and treatment plan for my memory, focus and balance concerns, Dr. Benjamin reviewed them and provided an explanation that normal aging is the controlling factor. We also discussed and implemented a medication modification designed to achieve improved focus and combat daytime sleepiness.

Dr. Benjamin, unlike most recent specialists I have recently seen, really listened to what I had to say, asking me relevant questions so I would expand on the information I shared with her. How wonderful that I feel like she really cares about me as a person instead of an illness'.

This was a consultative visit with Dr. Benjamin, to whom I was referred by another physician for possible sleep disorders. The virtual meeting went absolutely smoothly, and I felt right away that I would be in good hands under the care of Dr. Benjamin.
