    Because I feel she is very knowledgeable, very caring and reasonable in her decisions regarding my health. The fact that I have followed her to [omitted] from [omitted] (40 minutes from home versus 5 minutes) tells much about my feelings about Dr. Benet. She tells it like it is, and is the best doctor I have had in my nearly [omitted].

    Dr. Benet is the reason I go to your office. Dr. Benet is the reason you received the very satisfactory grades that I gave you. As I stated, I travel an hour at [omitted] years old to see Doctor Benet. She is the best and I deserve the best. I searched for years to find the best doctor and I am not willing to give her up. I have to wait longer then I was scheduled to, for an appointment with her as I am very tired in the morning and needed an appointment in early afternoon but not too late in the evening as it is winter and I have to travel on back roads that tend to be windy, slippery, and dark. I could not book an appointment for 2 months. I usually see her every month. I have to pray nothing is wrong during those 2 months. My nephew and niece went to Dr. Benet and had to leave her, much to their sacrifice. They have a young family and both work demanding jobs. They did not have a choice as it would have taken them over an hour to reach her. You were wrong to closing the Putnam office. Many feel the same way that I do. I am not going to your Vernon office because of your organization, Pro Health. I am going to your Vernon office because of Dr. Benet!!!

    Patient, compassionate, present, good listener, encourages the patient to partner in their healthcare, all the things a great doctor should be, but most aren’t. Hard to see other MDs in other specialties when compared to her level of care.

    Dr Benet is a wonderful doctor that truly care about her patients! She is an incredibly smart with compassion and kindness, as a doctor. I will follow her to [omitted], CT as long as I can as she is worth following. At [omitted] and driving myself, this move will be difficult to say the least. My husband has Dr. Benet as his doctor, as well. He is having memory issues so this move is extremely difficult for him and me. I will have to drive him to his appointments as well. I left a doctor I had been going to for 30 years before I found Dr. Benet. I did my homework, interviewed many doctors and specialist and when I finally found Dr. Benet, it was as though I could breath again. I could start believing and even learning for her. She knew more about medications that my specialists gave me than my specialists...yes, more than one specialist. If she does not or can not answer a question during my visit, she always will answer them before or during my next visit. I am angry fot those that can not follow their trusted doctor, Dr. Benet! Shame on you Pro Health!

    Dr. Benet is an excellent doctor. I hate that she is leaving the Putnam office. My plan right now is to travel to Vernon (45 minutes) to continue seeing her for regular appointments and visit an urgent care center nearby if needed.
