When my youngest son was diagnosed with Autism, over 13 years ago, I changed all 3 of my children over to Dr Brian Benjamin. He had experience with Autism, in a time when even less was understood about Spectrum Disorders, and just all around fantastic, empathetic care.
I am the first to admit that I was always an anxious parent. The slightest sign of illness or a rash, I wanted the doctors opinion. I also did a lot of research on any diagnoses my children received and would ask about different tests and therapeutic treatments, especially for my Autistic son. Dr Benjamin always listened to me, validated my thoughts and concerns, and never made me feel like I was being a hypochondriac. He would happily give out referrals that were asked for and order tests that he agreed could be beneficial. In all these years, there was only one test he disagreed with and his explanation of why was enough to help me understand why it wasn't necessary.
Much time has passed. Now Dr Benjamin cares for my granddaughter. His practice has definitely grown and it's harder to get an appointment with him. But the rest of his staff and partners are also fantastic. They were all very helpful for my family, thru the years, as I raised 3 children.
