Dr. Bennamin is a unique individual. His establishment is not fancy for an old school family vet committed with a true passion for his goals which are to mend, heal and keep living things living a little longer. People come in worried about their beloved pets and Dr. Benjamin tries to comfort humans with a bit of humour if only for a moment. It's just his way. His rates were always fair not exorbitant with multi return visits, tons of medications, foods to sell and office fees just for stepping through the doors. Sometimes letting nature take its course, spending time with your pet showing love and nuturing during rehab is a powerful medicine instead of all the hype but owners want a quick fix for everything with their "busy important" lives they overload themselves with so the vet has to be a miricale worker. Over the last 44 years of care for my pets Dr. Benjamin, his lovely wife and family live a humble life that care more about helping lives, human and animals and in spite of all the fancy, high overhead, large staffed, drug and food pushing you pay for and more other vets provide he remaine true to his calling. I have never lost a pet under his care. A relationship is developed. Not being passed around to different vets and staff every time with different ways of treating and recommendations. Don't get me wrong, x-rays and higher technology is important but when you need Dr. Brnjamin's service you get Dr. Benjamin ... every time, heart and soul. There will never br another like him as the world spins itself faster towards out of control. Everyone i have recommended him to young and old has stayed with him. Much respect and love to a fine caring man and family.

Dr. Benjamin is a wonderful and compassionate veterinarian, not to mention a nice guy as well. He is very down to earth doc who really cares about your animals. I would not want to go anywhere else.

We had a problem with a very uncommon parasite, found in one of our three (then) dog's stool. Dr. B understood our difficult curcumstances; the death of our daughter, living on disability, a bankruptcy, my husband's 5 heart atacks, my inability to work after our daughter was killed, 3 dogs, who were all very elderly, had denentia, and were at life's end, our struggling to provide good medical care for them, our lives upside down, inside out and in a bleak place.
He did get a confirmation of fluke worms, but didn't delve to break down the particular species, as his research pointed to this particular med as a first line of offense and most often being effective. He told us that he could supply the same ingredients at 4 times the cost, but suggested we try the one available at Tractor's Supply first. He actually spent a lot of time searching the availability of necessary ingredients and various stores which we could make a purchase less expensively. That, to me, is old fashioned, altruistic veterinary care. We were very grateful.

Since after treatment, we never saw presence of them in the stool again, it did seem to work.
I respect Dr. B and am thankful that he helped us.
