She cares about me and takes time to talk to me and she is very compassionate.
Dr Benavides is always so sweet and gentle. She’s always very personal and listens to you and doesn’t just rush you to get to another patient.
Dr. B was very informative about the options to treat my symptoms. I appreciated her guidance about the possible side effects and her reassurance that she would work with me in finding the best hormone treatment. She also educated me about the 'false information' I found on the internet related to testosterone for women. Dr. B is an outstanding professional. I feel well taken care of in her hands.
Dr. Benavides is the best. She is knowledgeable, best gynecologist ever, excellent patient care, and very trustworthy. I would not consider going anywhere these.
