Sabra Becker, PA was so sincere, kind, and thorough! For the first time during my eight years of my medical journey, I felt 100% seen and heard during our appointment!! Lucas Meira Benchaya, Was very easy to talk to, Asked valuable questions about my history. And made my procedure very easy and comfortable for me!

I was extremely scared. I had never had the test before, but I knew of it. Dr. took great care to ease my mind and always make sure I was ready when he started.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Benchaya always explains his recommended course of treatment with me and explains my options. I would recommend others to Dr. Benchaya for their medical needs.

5 out of 5 stars

I've said many times that Dr. Benchaya is an amazing doctor. I can't imagine that anyone else would have given me the care I needed to recover and continue to care, and treat me.

Dr Benchaya is an amazing Doctor. His bedside manner is fantastic, he is humble, when I am seeing him I feel like I am his only patient he has. He listens to me, and shows genuine concern. I believe he saved my life treating g me for what I have. I would recommend him to anyone requiring a Neuromuscular Specialist.
