Robert Benton's Online Review Report Card

Dr Benton is an excellent cardiologist. He treated several family members over the years and recently he treated me directly. He is professional, knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. I feel very confident in his abilities and have experienced positive results based on his treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr Benton

Initially got my problem under control but wasn't permanent, and didn't follow up with new plan or regimen so I'm back at square one. I initially thought he was a pretty good cardiologist but have doubts about that now. His manner is rather brusque, always seems in a hurry to get to the next patient. If you ask too many questions he fairly yells "What?!" after the the second or third question. He is often rude.

Doesn't like to be asked questions. Inconsistent bedside manner - runs hot and cold, can become rude. Tread lightly.

Dr Benton knew my dad but hadn’t treated mom. Once he saw her cognitive impairment he quickly modified his plan to get any tests done while we were there so we wouldn’t have to return. He is very compassionate and understanding and easy to work with. By departure time, all our results were not in, but he phoned me to let me know everything was good! He made mom feel that they were old friends and she was comfortable and happy. Hopefully I never need those services, but I would recommend him to anyone!

As others have said, this cardiologist was Dismissive and Rude. He was more concerned about the fact that I refused to get on the scale at a visit (my personal choice to only use my own scale, once per week, when trying to lose weight!) than he was about treating me, examining me or working with me on my health. I went to him because of a mitral valve problem post chemotherapy. At first he was empathetic about that situation, but by visit three he said I was “wasting his time” and he had “plenty of other patients waiting” (who apparently would get on the scale¡). Yes, I am overweight, not grossly obese or anything, and am trying to lose weight, BUT NO ONE deserves to be shamed and berated by a doctor as I was by him. He left the room that day without examining me, threw the echocardiogram report on a chair without discussing it, and never looked back. I left stunned-and will not return for that kind of abuse.

Dr Benton has provided top notch care to my Dad, extending his life by many years. Our family is grateful to Dr. Benton for his expertise and compassion.

Dr. Benton was quick, impatient, and could not get rid of me fast enough. I was on the verge of tears, and all he could say is that you have a calcium score of zero therefore why are you even here. This was all before he even said hi. I left the building shook. He has so many patients that his allotted 15 minutes is not even two minutes. I do not recommend this so-called doctor. Money grab.

The most unprofessional, condescending doctor I have ever met!

I really like Dr. Benton. He is very thorough in a kind professional manner.

he diagnosed endocarditis when my gp thought I had a cold. Saved my life
