Dr Benchaya spent a lot of time questioning, reiterating and listening. Suggesting options and finally recommending a way forward through testing towards a potential diagnosis.

Dr. Benchaya is an amazing neurologist. She is extremely knowledgeable and sweet; she answers any of your concerns or questions. When I see her for a follow-up or anything in regards to neurology, truly I leave the office confident that any problems or concerns that I have has found a solution or we discuss it thoroughly to find a solution that will work best. If you're thinking about having Dr. Benchaya as your neurologist then trust me she is fantastic, you're going to be glad to have her as your neurologist.

Ive been going only a shot time but she is the best, she is so intelligent. The first visit she just sat and talked with me and explained everything, wasnt rushed or hurried at all. She is so good to get right back with me through the Portal and is just so caring. She is definitely the best.
