This was my first time seeing her because my previous doctor retired. I could tell she was prepared for my visit and had read my history with sleep apnea. If I had told her something about other illnesses she promptly wrote them down and shared advice. I loved my previous doctor but I am pleased that I am now with Dr. Benjamin.
