My visit to Dr Benders office was both beneficial and insightful. I was given a plethora of useful information that will be extremely helpful during my road to recovery. I was treated in a professional and stellar fashion. I exited the appointment more confident than when I went in thanks to Dr Benders advice.
Dr. Jonathan Bender is a doctor you love to visit. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in cancer treatment, but he is very thorough in explaining needed information in terms a non-medical person can understand. He is very patient and kind, never making you feel rushed. I feel very secure in his decisions about my treatment.
He took all the time in the world with us to explain what we're presently going through and what to expect in the near term future. His knowledge and care for the patient is obvious. Both he and his PA were very impressive, helpful and kind.
Dr. Jonathan Bender is an excellent doctor! I was diagnosed with Cancer in 2025 and not sure what and how I would deal with it. My PCP referred Dr. Bender and from my very first meeting, I found him to be knowledgeable, concerned and compassionate. His ability to make me feel at ease while he discussed and treated this horrible disease is so appreciated beyond words. He was very serious but I loved that he could communicate with humor! The entire medical team and office staff provide thorough and attentive care to their patients. I highly recommend Piedmont Cancer Institute in Fayetteville, Georgia.
I enjoy going in for my visits with Dr. Bender. He listens contently and answers all my questions. I rate him a 10 out of 10.
Dr. Bender is very knowledgeable, personable & competent re: my cancer and how to treat & I feel very comfortable with him. His nurse is very efficient and my chemo nurse Nicole is very efficient, friendly & competent.
Dr. Bender is all around a great doctor! Not only does he listen to my concerns, he is also very perceptive; he pieces together my lay-man, non medical speech to pinpoint my descriptions and needs. He doesn't rush nor does he make me feel rushed. And he is extremely knowledgeable—not only in the oncology field but related topics that a patient may bring to the discussion. He came highly recommended to me, and I would highly recommend him to others. I travel 50+minutes for our visits! And I'm not complaining; it's worth it. The staff members are friendly, gentle and timely. They reflect professionalism. Dr. Bender, by way of GOD, has sent my cancer into remission! Glory to GOD and praises to Dr. Bender for doing God work!
Dr. Bender has become a blessing to our family. He's very dedicated to his patients and family. I would recommend him or his practice to anyone in need of a great oncologist!
Dr. Bender had a listening ear and did not rush my visit. He explained and reiterated points where I was not completely clear. I look forward to him working with me and for me on my journey.
