I saw another provider who didnt really listen and seemed focused only on putting me on medications. Finding Dr. Bengtson has been a complete breath of fresh air. He is not like that AT ALL. He and his assistant are wonderful people who truly care about you as an individual. Dr. Bengtson took the time to listen to every one of my concerns without interruption, making me feel heard and respected. I am so glad I found this team!2/13/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientOutstanding doctor.2/4/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientHe listens1/31/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientGreat1/22/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientI was very impressed with how thorough he was despite the fact that he did not have access to my medical records. All of my records have been established through Bay Care so he was readily able to access the multiple diagnosis and treatments I have had. He also subtly tested my ability to recall this information when he would include questions of things I had forgotten or missed. Leaving me with dignity and respect of the mental and physical challenges that I have. I really appreciated this because past doctors dismissed as being feeble minded or incapable of communicating my needs or concerns. I was glad to know that he was not dismissive of me or my concern. He had compassion and just the right amount of empathy to give me a good feeling about developing a good working doctor patient relationship. I am excited as to where this will grow to.
