Dr. Bender was quite thorough in his explanation of what to expect with long term medication, citing clinical studies and personal experience among his patients. He was encouraging about my prognosis without dismissing my type of cancer as "nothing to worry about". I must add his CNP was very professional, positive, and seemed genuinely warm.
Dr. Bender is always very professional. He does not rush his patient's visits. He believes in encouraging his patients/caregivers to engage in treatment plan options. The patient's overall health concerns are addressed and assessed for the best outcome. The staff are always courteous. Appointments are easily available. The office area is very welcoming, clean and.accessible.
He cares about his patients. I like that he takes his time to explain what your problem is.
I have been a patient of Dr. Bender for almost 10 years. He is always extremely pleasant to talk with, his greeting is genuine and warm, and he makes me feel comfortable to be meeting with him. I feel important in his presence! Every member of the staff is very professional and efficient. They all seem to enjoy being there, too.
Same as always, everyone is professional, kind and understanding. Dr Bender is as good as it gets, always prepared and laying out the facts about how things are going. Couldn't be happier!
Dr. Bender is always in tune with my medical needs and is kind and patient to answer any questions. He is an excellent Dr. I highly recommend him.
