Patients appreciate

Patients consistently describe him as professional, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate, with many emphasizing that he takes time to listen to their concerns without rushing them. His bedside manner is frequently highlighted as outstanding, with patients appreciating his ability to explain complex medical information in understandable terms and his willingness to thoroughly answer all questions. Many reviews mention his calm, gentle demeanor that puts patients at ease, and numerous patients note his Christian faith, with several specifically mentioning that he prays with patients before surgery.

Patients also share
While the feedback is predominantly positive, a few areas for improvement emerge from the reviews. One patient reported an unacceptable wait time of nearly two hours in the exam room before Dr. Benton arrived, despite being taken back promptly by the nurse. This same reviewer felt that while Dr. Benton is an excellent surgeon, he seemed disinterested during patient interactions and asked only brief questions without appearing engaged in their responses. A small number of other patients described him as "not personable" or "quiet and reserved," though most of these still acknowledged his medical competence. A few reviews mentioned wait times despite having scheduled appointments, suggesting occasional issues with appointment scheduling or running behind schedule.
