“Dr. Benke understood the urgency of identifying and determining next steps for my knee pain since my wedding is only a few weeks away. He was congenial and provided a short-term solution, as well as a long term, follow up to ultimately fix the problem in my knee, (10 mm bone mass that needs to be removed and partially torn meniscus). He is professional and willing to educate his patients on the injury that has been discovered. Additionally, Barbara showed empathy and the same sense of urgency when determining to schedule for next steps. During a time that could have been considered a crisis, both Dr. Bentke and Barbara gave me peace of mind.”
