Lydia Bennett Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Bennett comes to my visits unprepared, and tries to look through my history while with me. She then gaslights me about diagnosed conditions and refuses even simple requests for referrals or treatment. She always has to win, but it’s not a competition. It’s a conversation about my health. Will be changing doctors.

I recently became a patient of Dr. Bennett and am so happy. She is very kind, thoughtful, and smart. I feel her exams are very thorough and I think she has a lot of experience. Most importantly she makes me feel very comfortable. The office staff in Bedford is also nice and helpful. You can also have xrays taken in the same building, which is very convenient. I would definitely recommend Dr.Bennett and Derry medical center.

She has been my PCP for over 3 years and she still doesn't remember me. She also has pressured/tried to scare me at every appt. about birth control, vaccinations and medications. She definitely has an agenda. My last physical with her was disappointing and i will not be seeing her again. She is also dismissive of any questions about COVID if it doesn't comply with what Faucci says.

She was my PCP for 2yrs and everytime I'd go to see her she would ask who my PCP was. I tried asking for referrals for gastroenterologists for several issues and she would say she does not give them out. I have never met such an unaccommodating and disgenuine human being or doctor in my life.

I don't recommend Dr. Bennett as a Primary Care Physician. She seems very bored with her job. She comes to an appointment unprepared (she has no clue about my medical history), which means that she keeps revisiting the same irrelevant topics year after year without checking that this has been discussed and can be put to bed. What's worse, I experienced her bullying me about doing a screening test that I'm comfortable doing saying things like: "if you don't do this screening test, you might die". I didn't switch to another provider out of convenience and I suppose laziness, but it's over now. A glossy photo on the waiting room wall proudly states that Dr. Bennett is recommended by her peers. To that I say let her treat her peers if they recommend her so full-heartedly. What I experienced and what I'm reading with the other reviews is that this provider is very far from a caring, interested, compassionate doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bennett's for a few years now. I think the level of care I get is very basic. I have a medical condition and when I asked her if she would manage my medications for it her response was no. The reason I wanted her to manage my medications was because my neurologist was not doing a very good job at refilling them in a timely fashion. My kidney specialist ended up filling it, which should have never happened. Because of the delay in my medication I ended up getting extremely sick. When looking for a primary care physician I expect there to be coordination of care. I understand she doesn't understand the condition, but she should be able to talk with my neurologist to make sure nothing has changed. The medication has not changed in the last 5 years or so.

Was sick from a reaction from a drug she prescribed. Called the office and was told it would take about 1 week or two before it was out of my system. Nothing was offered to help me with the reaction I was having but found a solution from a friend that was a pharmacist. I was also prescribed another drug for something different. Looking back I remembered I had taken this drug before and it was giving me a reaction to my kidney's. Today is the 5th day I called about the drug and still haven't heard back. I am going to seek a new Dr. This isn't the kind of care I want.

Dr Bennett is a good Dr. She works with you to figure out the problem and suggests the most effective method to take care of the problem. She is very cost conscious and is knowledgeable about remedies and meds that can be purchased for a lesser amount. She is a quiet, calm person who is encouraging as well.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bennett’s for over 10 years and feel strongly that she has given me excellent care through serious medical issues and the every day “little things”. She welcomes me warmly by name, remembers my medical issues and never seems to be in a hurry. When I had been quite sick, she insisted on frequent follow-up. When I ask questions about whether a test or drug is really necessary, she is more than willing to listen to my concerns and questions.

excellent service, very good primary doctor. I have had other primary doctors she is above average for sure.
