Cancer is a terrible disease… the treatment for it is hard on the body. But it's good doctors like Bender that ease the way. He talked me through every step. Walked me through the side effects. Made me feel hopeful instead of hopeless. I love talking to him cuz he's passionate about his job. I love that I can look at my numbers if I want to and he takes the time to explain them. I learn something new each time we meet. I love is assistant too ! Both of them make you feel comfortable … that you may have cancer but we fix that here. I from here on out will make sure if anyone I know of has cancer. I got a great specialist with a great team u can see
Dr. Bender is a wonderful doctor. He explains things so that you can understand and always answers any questions. Wonderful bedside manner and even on busy days, takes time to discuss care in detail. Support staff is exceptional also!
Doctor Bender was super informative and answered all of my questions at my initial appointment. I very much appreciate his directness with a tone of kindness. I am confident in the care I will receive.
Every time all of my questions are addressed from stomach issues to brisket temperatures to crab boil recipes … I love the place love the doctor… never ever thought I would enjoy going to the doctor. But I know when I go I'll come back better and a little more knowledgeable about my situation

He is very thorough and lets me know of every option that I have to help me try to get better. He's just been a great doctor for me. I trust God 1st and because I do I know that He sent me to Dr. Bender.
