MIchel Y. Benoit's Online Review Report Card

Botched my elbow surgery. Still in pain and limited range of motion five months post-surgery. Almost impossible to get follow-up appointments and if you do, he spends five minutes with you and seems to not listen at all. His nurse Pam is quite literally the rudest, most condescending heath care "professional" I have ever encountered in my 63 years of life. My elbow is deformed, painful and not functional after the ORIF surgery he performed. I am now under the care of another orthopedist and am in the process of filing a complaint against Benoit and his entire practice

I don's usually leave reviews. The staff was nice and the doctor's demeanor was ok. But I had lacerated my tendon in my thumb. It was a week before I had my surgery. Later returning to have the stitches removed. ...went through PT. Then during a follow-up I told him that I felt like there was still a stitch in my thumb. He said no, that they counted all the stitches when they were removed. After a year, I went to a different surgeon since the use of my thumb wasn't better and I still had the feeling of a stitch in my thumb. The new surgeon thought he might be able to help with the removing scar tissue so I might have better use. Well, after surgery the new doctor said they removed a stitch! I knew I could feel something. I never went back to Dr. Benoit.

I regret not reading these reviews before having my surgery. I am not happy with the results of the surgery, with the brusque and dismissive way I've been treated by both Dr. B and his staff.

No. I would not recommend him. I was very sorry that he did my hand surgery.

excellent surgeon. not warm and fuzzy. he does not want to be your friend, but he has skills worth seeking out. he repaired a thumb joint that other surgeons thought only could be fused.

He was helpful in diagnosing and treating an injury that had gone misdiagnosed previously at another office. Explained condition and surgery well. Was helpful during recovery. Had excellent outcome from difficult surgery.

I shudder to think about how my wrists would have survived without Dr. Benoit. He did bi-lateral radial shortening on both of my wrists in 2010. I have full motion and strength in both of my wrist and I have not had any pain since. If you judge a surgeon by his bedside manner you are making a huge mistake; especially if you rate his surgical expertise and outcomes by how much you like him as a person. Frankly, I truly believe I owe my wrists to him. I have an online group that I belong to, and most of the people I have known since my surgery are either in pain or have had several subsequent surgeries including fusion of the wrist. I owe my hands to Dr. Benoit and I take umbrage at anyone who rates him without knowing how skillful he is.

terrible. doesn't listen. doesn't talk. doesn't explain. just a horrible, terrible doctor. i would say he's the opposite of what a good doctor should be, i truly mean that. i have a lot of regrets. he's hurt me, he's wasted my time. he's failed to treat everything. he pushed for surgery with zero diagnosis or testing. i met a former colleague of his who told me he drives a porsche turbo and a ferrari. interesting.

Had hand surgery and the results were great. Having my other hand done. Would recommend him to everyone.

Poor listener. Defensive. Dismissive of any conversation about surgical advances.
