I live in Wiggins, MS. My optometrist tried to send me as an emergency glaucoma patient, with an…read moreIOP of 60 to Hattiesburg, they refused. Dr. Benefield kept his clinic and staff open until he had done what was necessary!! I am sure there have been patient's appointments that have been delayed because of ongoing issues with my eye. He is a superb Doctor and as happenstance would have it he is a genius‼‼

Dr. Benefield has treated me for nine plus years. I am diabetic, and he keeps close watch for…read morechanges in my vision and my retina. I had cataract surgery on both eyes about 2 years ago with no complications and wonderful results. Recently the right eye seemed a bit cloudy. He brought me in yesterday for a laser treatment to remove the growth of cells over my artificial lense. Again, the results are excellent. I woke up with clear vision in the operative eye, and there is no residual pain or discomfort. This procedure was subject to a deductible of several hundred dollars from Humana, plus a fixed fee for the surgery center itself. I feel that my outstanding vision at age 73 is well worth the fee. Dr. Benefield and his staff have always been very courteous and helpful over the years. There have been one or two appointment glitches, but those are only minor inconveniences which also happen in other medical practices. I highly recommend this office after nearly 10 years and I'm thankful to have this quality of service here on the Gulf Coast.

Have seen Dr. Wingfield and others in her group several times, including when I was going through…read morechemo for breast cancer. They were all wonderful and I will continue to visit them when I have dermatology problems!

While I like Dr. Wingfield as a person, I was not happy with a couple visits. I had an atypical…read moregrowth on my body. I asked for a biopsy and was told "it's nothing." I insisted. It was cancer. The doctor didn't call me herself to tell me. A staff member called me. I was so in shock that my suspicions about cancer were correct and was highly disappointed that the doc herself didn't call so I could ask questions. The staff member didn't tell me what kind of cancer it was. I called back and the receptionist told me the type of cancer I had. Dr. W. referred me to a derm in a nearby town. On the way to that appointment, I called that derm and asked the receptionist if the doctor there had training in Mohs cancer surgery: specifically a 2 year fellowship. I was told "NO". I cancelled the appointment and flew to another state where I had a board certified, fellowship trained Mohs surgeon to remove the cancer. The doc I went to out of state was Mohs fellowship trained and was also a cosmetic surgeon, so I didn't walk out of the office with a quarter sized divot on my face. On another visit, Dr. W. gave me Botox. I had a reaction due to one of the injections being misplaced and I had a ton of swelling. I have had Botox since it came out and have had great results with doctors who know how and where to place the injections. Dr. W. just sort of stuck the needle in haphazardly. My eyebrows now sink and even though I went back for a touch up, I still have wrinkles. This never happened when I had Botox with other practitioners. I really like Dr. W. as a person, but when a patient has to insist on a biopsy, this is not a good thing. It may not have looked like cancer to her, but my gut told me that this growth kept growing back after being frozen off for a reason. Had I listened to Dr. W. and ignored my instinct, I could have ended up with a much larger portion of my face missing...or dead.
