Dr. Benedetti truly cares for the children he treats as well as their families. During the most difficult time we have ever faced, he has shown compassion to us as parents and a dedication to our child in researching and looking for more treatments and options.

We love Dr Benedetti. He was honest and compassionate in all his conversations. He went ahead and spoke with the surgeon for the likely surgery that our daughter was going to need and had him meet us the same day. We can't thank him enough for the time, honesty, and compassion he has treated our family with.

We love Dr. Benedetti. He is very caring and listens to any concerns. He allows the parents to make decisions that are best for the child. He's been very proactive in any changing protocols for my son's condition. He explains everything in terms that are easy to understand and seems to genuinely care for his patients. Highly recommended!

Dr. Benefit to answers all my questions; listens attentively to my concerns, keeps working until he finds a solution. He takes his time to explain treatments and effects. He even draws the information for me to give me a visual. He never rushes us.
