Dr. Benchaya has always been upfront and honest about my prognosis, and has done an amazing job to ensure I had the best care. He ensured that although I am discharged I always can call with any questions or concerns.

Responsive, caring, truthful professional is my experience with Dr. Benchaya. Never rushes thru a visit, always explains each exam with disclosure when finished. I am thankful to have Dr. Benchaya as my healthcare provider. Respectfully submitted

I had a follow-up visit with Dr Benchaya who also treated me while I was in Hartford hospital. I have been most impressed by him as a physician and it was the same at this visit. He took time to talk to me and to listen to what I had to say and try to really understand my situation. He was absolutely supportive and made me feel much better about how things were going. He also followed up on an issue about scheduling some treatments for me which had been confused. I was impressed that he did this personally, immediately and on his own. I would recommend Dr Benchaya or any of the other neurologists at Hartford hospital.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr Benchaya is very attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended.
