5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Benchaya is a great neurologist. She is kind, discusses things thoroughly, compassionate, and empathetic; I can truly say that she cares for the well-being of her patients and is willing to work with them to find the best possible solutions. And if you have any medical concerns, whether it's a follow-up or prescription question, you can message her on MyChart and get a reply within almost the same day. I first met Dr. Benchaya when she was a resident, and still to this day, I'm glad to have her as my neurologist.

What an amazing visit with Dr. Benchaya. I have been followed for many years for seizures but no one has ever taken the time and patience to explain everything to me. She was kind, attentive but still so professional. I knew this was the best move ever! Thank you Dr. Benchaya for making my visit so memorable. Having seizures sucks, but you make it a whole lot better.

Great doctor, easy to talk to and explains everything in terms that anyone could understand. She was kind, attentive and professional. What a difference a great doctor can make in your life!
