Dr. Bennett is very knowledgeable, very professional. Did a great job explaining the issues with my knee that I am experiencing, and the reasons for the discomfort. He helped me put together a plan to help elevate the discomfort. I was able to schedule a time that was convenient and was in and out of my appointment in a timely manner.
