I went to Dr. Bene last October for vision problems. He diagnosed me with cataracts. I set up an…read moreappointment in December, which he cancelled because of a "family emergency ". From time to time I would stop in the office and was always given a vague reason why he couldn't schedule me. I haven't heard back from him in 11 months, other than receiving an invoice for $20.00, which I'm refusing to pay because I'm considering medical malpractice. The worst part is I told my daughter to go to see him and he kept referring to her as "honey bunches". This jerk should have his license yanked at a minimum for his medical negligence. Dr. Bene, if you read this, please contact me. I have some choice words for you and the name of my med/mal attorney.

I had a very bad experience with Dr. Bene. His assistant who did most of the testing was very…read morecaring and patient with my autistic son. However, when Dr. Bene entered the patient room he seemed to already be upset and openly berated her for giving my son a sticker before he did his exam. He rudely told my son to give the sticker back because he needed to "earn it." My son gave the assistant the sticker back and Dr. Bene told her it was only to be used as an incentive. she left the room and the doctor was able to do his exam, but the situation already made me uneasy. Upon examining my son's results on the computer he called his assistant back into the office and started questioning her. He said " You need to take a video" and pounded his fist on the desk. The assistant said " I'll redo it" and left the room." At this point I knew the doctor was creating a toxic work environment for his employees. He also probably had a history of being unprofessional and treating his employees this way. The doctor was able to discuss my sons results, but looked irritated that my other level 3 autistic son was making noises. I quickly left the appointment once we were done and Dr. Bene said I could get my sons prescription filled somewhere else. I only needed a routine eye exam for my son, but I think the receptionist incorrectly gave me an appointment with Dr. Bene because I was asked by Dr. Bene who referred me at the end of my appointment. Overall, it was one of the worst experiences I've had at a doctors office with my kids.
