“very efficient and extremely thorough”
great service and attention to detail. Im delighted

Dr Bender helped me finally figure out what was causing all my pain. If it weren't for him, I'd still be walking around with to deteriorating hips and a bum foot. He has helped me figure out a healthy path to meet my weight goals. I like that he is very thorough and takes the time to make sure you understand what is going on with your health. The MVP program is a lifesaver! Without it, my family would not have the access to primary care that everyone deserves. The price is affordable and I am more than confident that all my needs from pediatric to women's health will be met.
“Amazing”

Dr. Bender is a very caring doctor, at times I wish that he would take more time for the visit and it wouldn't feel so rushed. You couldn't ask for a more loving, caring doctor that wants the best care and physical well being for you.

I have been a patient of Dr Bender's for a very long time now. He is amazing and works really hard with his patients to give us the best care ever. I am 76 years old and he has helped me get to this age and feel as good as I do by his good care, guidance, advice (I haven't always been good at listening to but most of it I do.) I plan to be with Dr Bender as long as I am able to - I have complete confidence in him and feel he is not only my doctor but my friend. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor.

Dr Bender is great at solving my issues or at least attempting to fix things that are wrong. Dr Bender is a great listener and really cares for mine and my wife's well being. The only issue I have is the wait time is almost always too long to be seen once I'm in a room. Other than that, my wife and I are extremely satisfied with the care we receive.

After several years and many other doctors I lucked up upon Dr, Bender as a "second opinion" referral. Well that was a very blessed day for me back in 2010 because Dr. Bender made it his personal mission to see that I get a proper diagnosis, as well as a proper continuing treatment plan. now 9 years later I am so improved and my quality of life is incredible from where I was when I first came to see Dr. Bender. I am serious when I say I will never change doctors again as long as he'll have me.

I enjoy having Dr. Bender as my provider because I feel I can ask as many questions as I want. He's very good at explaining things in terms I can understand. He's helped me improve my health and take control of my weight. In many ways being chronically ill can lead to a feeling of having no control over your own health. Dr. Bender has helped me to identify what things I can improve to increase my health. I appreciate his care and concern that he shows for his patients. I don't feel like just another number when I'm being treated by him. I feel like a person who he cares about and someone he wants to improve the quality of life for. I'm very thankful to have Dr. Bender as my provider. It has made a positive difference in my health.
