Patient Reviews
Mar 30, 2024
I had been pushed from one office to another at U of Lou and at Norton hospital. Finally the last Dr refered me to Dr. Benns, thankfully she did. He saved my life . I had a 40.5 lb hernia caused by bad surgery in another state. Dr Benns was the only Dr out of 4 that explained my situation, my complications and gave me a surgery. No mess on fuss. Dr Benns is very hands on and is very skilled. I would rate him as one of the best surgeons I've ever met in my life. Thank you Dr. Benns for being there for me or I would have died. You are superman to me.
