After enrolling my son on-line, I received a call from the school letting me know that they received our enrollment and shared what to expect going forward. Benson Driving School team does a great job with communication and keeping the parents AND students up to date on what to expect/next steps. They were timely in there in person school options. We have been extremely pleased with the instruction as well as the communication. Many other driving schools won't return calls and the communication component is lacking. I highly recommend Benson Driving School.

We've been going to Benson Animal Hospital for well over 20 years, and Dr. Margaret Anderson is a…read morevery knowledgeable, kind and caring Veterinarian. I'm an Independent Rescuer of cats and dogs and I bottle feed baby kittens, and she takes her time whenever we bring in any one of our rescued animals. We currently have 4 dogs and 2 foster dogs and a colony of cats that are spayed/neutered that we treat as our family members and she treats each of them as if they are her own pets. She takes her time with us every time we go there. And because we have so many animals, she always works with us on different options that work within our budget. We're so thankful for her and her wonderful staff. They're all so kind and caring. We can't thank them enough.

Dr Anderson is a kitten killer and a terrible veterinarian. I've been going to her for the last…read morethree years or so through a rescue I foster for, and this week I had four kittens pass away because she didn't give me the correct medication even after multiple phone calls and kittens dying. She is never there on time, it's always forever wait and absolutely no help if the problem is beyond basic shots or surgeries. This is not the first time a kitten died in my arms because she didn't do a proper exam and dismissed that the animal was obviously sick. I don't understand how she gets all these positive reviews when her answer to any problem is "I don't know". I came in with a dying cat once and she made us wait instead of saying she won't even be there for hours, and she didn't allow the techs perform anything besides weight and temperature check. We ended up going to a different vet as an emergency visit. The kittens that passed went to her with eye infections first, she barely looked at them, didn't do any real eye check, said they're going to be blind and likely lose their eyes. I had to ask her for stronger eye drops, and their eyes were improving drastically until one of them became lethargic. Turned out it was a parasite (coccidia) that requires not only specific dewormer (which she gave me) but also an antibiotic that required prescription. She should have known this as a standard procedure, I found this out later from the good old internet. Once the first kitten passed I've been calling and asking for THREE days to get the antibiotics for the rest of the kittens and she just ignored me. They kept telling me that she'd get back to me and she never did,while I was holding dying kittens, giving them fluids and syringe feeding them. I don't know if it's because I'm with a rescue, even though they pay for the services, nothing is done for free. My guess is she just really doesn't care, she even told me a story about putting her own cat down because she didn't want to continue to treat it for a sickness that I'm familiar with and it's very curable, just takes a few weeks. I will not go back there again, this woman should not be allowed to practice at all!

Despite the pandemic, they are working to provide recreation programs and open facilities indoors and out, to the best of their ability. I enjoyed touring Benson and seeing ball fields, soccer fields, picnic shelters, the band stand home to summer concerts as soon as they can return, municipal park, sand volleyball, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard courts, playgrounds and the future site of a rehabbed space for a community center. While the Benson Civic Center at 1204 North Johnson shows its age, it was well maintained and designed for more active times. The weight room and cardio equipment are open with social distancing and masks required. The game room seemed so empty. There are two other under utilized meeting rooms due to the pandemic. The attached Benson Center for Active Aging was buzzing with volunteers at the clothing closet and also serves as a food pantry distribution site. Many virtual activities being offered as well.
