Super unprofessional. Went to see this man and was told I had to come in before I could get my pain pills I desperately needed and as soon as I arrived this dr was walking to his car to leave instead of seeing me like he was suppose to. Staff is too lazy to send prescriptions out instead they make you do it. Physical therapy was a joke to them just stretching and basic exercises since most of their equipment was broken or unavailable. When calling for a much needed work restriction note on lifting I was told to use their online services. When I said I didnt know how they laughed on the phone and hung up on me. They are the worst drs office I have ever been to.

I had meniscus surgery in June and the doctor cleaned up the arthritis and the cartilage and then did the Platelet rich plasma and stem cell therapy. The doctor said it would be 4-5 months before I would start seeing a difference. At 5 months I could definitely see a difference and at 6 months I feel 100% better. I am soooo happy that I had this done and highly recommend this service.

I had severe arthritic overgrowth in my right knee as well as torn medial meniscus and chondromalacia patella. Dr. Bennett did surgical repair of my right knee as well as PRP and stem cell injections. He said I would probably achieve 80% recovery, at the very least, in that knee. One and a half years later, I have 100% range of motion in that knee. I am able to walk up stairs, and swim and walk up to a mile a day with no problem. I would call that successful. I am almost 73 years old and still going strong!

After 3 months of barely being able to walk, I saw Dr. Bennett and got the plasma injection. 1 week later I felt better, 2 weeks later I was taking my kids on long walks and playing with them again and after a month my knee feels better than it has in years! I wish I had not waited so long, it works!

I suffered torn meniscus recently and Dr Bennett is the key to my recovery. Not only did he heal a friend of mine from her motorcycle accident but I was back on my motorcycle within 3 days of surgery! Dr B uses PRP therapy and I believe that improved my healing time 100 %! Id recommend him to anyone! Id say Im at 95% or better and its only 4 weeks later. There isnt a better more experienced Dr in my humble opinion.

Dr. Bennett explained to me in a way I would understand exactly why I was having so much pain. Other doctors told me surgery would be the only way to fix my pain, but after listening to Dr. Bennett I have been pain free for months! I highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Dr. Bennett!

Dr. Bennett and the staff are wonderful. The PRP that Dr. Bennett did for my torn rotator cuff was amazing. I was astounded how well my shoulder works. I feel that I did not have an injury. I am back to doing my activities. I highly recommend this procedure over surgery. I also highly recommend Dr. Bennett for restorative procedures.

I had 4 PRP injections for 4 different injuries/issues. After having 3 kids, I had 2 hip labral tears and sacroiliac joint and ligament pain on both right and left sides. As a mom of 3 young children, I have no time for surgery and recovery. A few days later, I have NO pain in 3 of the 4 sites injected. I had acute, catching pain in my low back when Id lift and bend, and it is completely gone on the worse side. I still have some discomfort on my right side so I am eager to get a second injection there, as I am THRILLED with the results!

It has been six months since Dr Bennett did my right rotator cuff surgery. I have no pain and full movement of my arm. I choose to have stem cells with this surgery and I feel this is the primary reason for the quick healing. I had surgery on my left rotator cuff one year before the right with out the stem cells and it never healed properly. I fell Dr. Bennett is an exceptional surgeon and I highly recommend him to anyone needing any orthopedic surgery. Thank you so much Dr. Bennett!

All this place cares about is money and thats it. I had a light injury to my knee and went in to just get a doctors opinion on it. The doctor gave me less than 9 mins of his time and less than 60 secs of an ultrasound. ( i timed the office visit). I had a $60 co-pay that was assured to me covered everything by a man named Henry. However a week after the office visit I got a bill for $198, looking closer to the bill they charged the insurance company over $1,000 for the 9 min office visit and $700 for the ultrasound in which my insurance only paid for a certain amount and the rest was left up to me. After calling the office and talking to Henry again he would not take responsibility for anything he said to me in regards of the only thing I had to pay was the $60 co pay. He wouldnt work with me at all. There are other doctors in the area that are much better and caring to people I suggest you dont go to this group and keep looking. I had to go to another doctor after Bennett to get a true answer about my knee because he couldnt do the job.

Im writing this testimonial to Dr. Bennett about the rotator cuff surgery that he did on my right shoulder. I was very impressed with the outcome. I had no pain and was lifting my surgery arm while holding a ream of paper straight out with no discomfort 2 weeks from the day of my surgery. I had the same surgery in the 90s by a Dr. in Milwaukee and had nothing but pain and 5 months of physical therapy to get back to work. I have been referring everyone I know to Dr. Bennett because of the excellent work he did on my shoulder. In closing, I hope the Lord will continue to guide Dr. Bennetts hands, and grant him a long and successful career.

Five years ago I went to Dr. Bennett to ask about options other than surgery for severe arthritis in my left knee. I had been told by other orthopedic surgeons that my only option was knee replacement surgery. Since I had already had a shoulder replacement, i was reluctant to replace another joint. Dr. Bennett had me get x-rays of my knee and did an ultra sound after which he explained that there were no guarantees that stem cells would work but that It was possible that they might be able to prevent my knee replacement surgery. I made the decision to have stem cell therapy. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. The procedure was done in the office using stem cells from my bone marrow. The only discomfort was the removal of the stem cells from my hip process. The discomfort lasted less than five minutes. I then waited about an hour while the stem cells were Processed. The stem cells along with PRP (Platelet rich plasma) Were injected into my knee. The Pain in my knee began to dissipate almost immediately. During the next two weeks I stayed off my knee as much as I could. I had a second injection of PRP after the second week. From that time on, I had no pain in my knee. Over the next few months, I Improved to the point where I could walk and kneel without pain. It has been five years since the therapy. Today I have no problems at all with my knee. Many of my friends have had stem cell therapy after seeing my success.Two years ago Dr. Bennett performed surgery on a large tear in my rotator cuff. He used stem cells to promote the healing process. I had a 100% recovery in a short period of time. There are physicians offering stem cell therapy who are not as qualified as Dr. Bennett. Dr. Bennett is an excellent surgeon and has a wealth of experience in stem cell therapy. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Bennett to anyone suffering as I was.

I received 4 PRP injections on the outer areas of my knees on February 27, 2019. Dr. Bennett used ultrasound to guide him to the spots to inject. The procedure was quite painless. Within 2 weeks I no longer had pain in the left knee. Within five weeks I no longer had pain in my right knee.After extensive research, I learned that all PRP is not equal, and that it was important to chose a surgeon with much experience in this field. Dr. Bennett was was my first choice, and I am so grateful to him for his outstanding work.

I came to Dr. Bennett because I woke up with pain every day in my right knee. I have had arthroscopy knee surgery on both knees ten years ago. I knew I had osteoarthrifitis in my right knee. I wanted to ignor the pain and pretend it was not there. I watched my father suffer from arthritis and die an early death from a stroke.I found Dr. Bennett on line and started reading about stem cell and platelet therapy. I prayed and thought about it and even cancled my first appointment. I am so glad I came. It has been six weeks. I wake up without pain. I had three platelet shots at one time. I took no pain medicine. I did ice, heat, exercise and walk. I walk a mile a day. Thanks, Dr. B.

At age 49 after 30+ years of running, my left knee could not take the pain and discomfort of running impact. Dr. Bennett performed PRP on that site and after 60 days was back to my regular daily 5k. My knee felt like it did when I was 25. Two years later, I tore the meniscus and ACL in the same knee in a motorcycle incident. Dr Bennett performed the surgery to repair the meniscus and used PRP on both ACL and meniscus to speed recovery and provide the biologic repair. 3 months later I have zero pain and am back to my regular workout routine (including squats). Could not be happier with the results. Dont wait, life is short. Get back to doing the things that you love and make you feel good.

I discovered Dr. Bennett in 2016 , and he has changed my life remarkably! I have had three stem cell injections in a triple-torn rotator cuff -I was in immense pain , severe immobility - I now have 100% full use! Dr. Bennett has also healed my knee with stem cells, my Plantar Fascitis with PRP injections, and the arthritis in my wrist and thumb, with injections of PRP ( Platelet Rich Plasma). I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND Dr. Bennett . My quality of life is now wonderful and pain free.

Im 60 yrs. old and Im 4 months post-op from arthroscopic knee surgery on my left knee, performed by Dr. Bennett. Im back to my previous activities and pain free. I had a consultation after injuring my knee on a turn in dance class - this was in addition to a bike injury 8 years previous. When I first saw Dr. Bennett in July I could barely walk and had pain 24/7. Dr. Bennett made a careful diagnosis and I chose to have surgery in August to clean up a torn ACL, complex flap tear of the medial meniscus, and cartilage damage caused by bone on bone OA. I also chose to use Biologics at the time of surgery: my own stem cells and blood (PRP). Im very happy with the results Ive gotten and feel I have 90% improvement over when I first saw Dr. Bennett. I am hopeful that the Biologics have caused cartilage regrowth in my left knee joint, and that I can avoid or postpone knee replacement for 5-10 years.I chose Dr. Bennett because I believed he would be an excellent diagnostician, due to his work in leading edge technology, his experience with stem cells and PRP, as well as his expertise as a surgeon. He told me exactly what was happening in my injured knee - something other orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists did not do. I had very little pain post-op and am able to do my activities with only OTC Ibuprofen on an as-needed basis. I am still building up my knee and am confident I will reach 100% full activity. Although I still have OA, it is no longer holding me back.My rehab included 1 month on crutches, 2 months using a cane and 2 months of physical therapy. Im back to riding my bike, walking, climbing stairs, and line dancing. In addition to surgery, Dr. Bennett recommended a DonJoy OA brace that supports ACL function and off loads my knee. I wear it for activities or long periods of standing. Ive had a great experience working with Dr. Bennett and his staff, Maya and Henry. Dr. Bennett gave me an honest assessment, saying that the surgery might not cause a big improvement, but there was a chance that the stem cells might work to regrow cartilage and reduce friction in the joint. Im very glad I chose Dr. Bennett and I would recommend him 100%. Thanks Doc!
