4/5

Dr. Benhatzel is very kind. He explains things in detail so I can comprehend them better as when you're a pain patient it's hard to concentrate because it's all you think about. He explained everything during the procedure so I wasn't that nervous and I'm a very nervous person so kudos to this doctor. I 100% recommend him. I came from another clinic and he made the transition bearable.
