Sep 2025Dr Bender is awesomeSep 2025It was a great experienceSep 2025Great provider. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable. Easy to talk to.Sep 2025Overall expectations were not addressed as purpose of visit was issues with ankle, knee and hip. Only hip was partially addressed.Sep 2025Very professional!Sep 2025Very knowledgeable.Sep 2025Excellent. Dr. Bender gave me a hip injection and I already feels betterSep 2025GoodSep 2025Dr Bender and his staff were outstanding in all aspects of my appointment.Sep 2025Well,my knee looked good on xray and I wasn't surprised but the doctor was. As I explained, both hips were replaced not due to knee pain but had been causing knee pain. I think that is the issue again. I hope the doctor is right and that the gel injection and therapy will help the knee, but I am still dealing with hip pain and not sure what my next move will be.Sep 2025I liked Dr Bender and his staff and felt I got good attention during my visit. And the appointment was right on time. I do hope that gel injection and therapy will help, but because of my past experience with hips causing knee pain, I think I might not get the result I would like. Both hips have been replaced, and it is the left one that had a bad surgical outcome that is now causing pain.Aug 2025Dr. Bender is excellent.
