Patient Feedback

"Dr Benson has been a lifesaver. I have suffered for many years with really bad health anxiety, inasmuch as it has held me back on living life to the full.
‍
I tried acupuncture, hypnotherapy and other recommended methods to resolve it, but nothing worked. I was getting desperate as everyday life was becoming more and more difficult. I visited my local surgery for a minor ailment and was booked in to see Dr Benson. I explained my anxiety and for the first time somebody REALLY understood my situation. I left feeling more positive that my condition was something that I could overcome and with regular visits to Dr Benson, I am now in charge of my health anxiety and am much more rational. I certainly couldn’t have done it without Dr Benson’s help andam now enjoying life to the full again."
