Dr. Marc L Benton, MD

There are so many knockoffs in any profession including the medical field. If you having minor issues with sleeping or such, then going to Dr seelall probably wont hurt you as much. But if you think you have a serious problem, I would not go to her or her kind alike for advice as she will probably read back to you about what she had learned from her medical school a couple of years ago and not able giving you the right diagnosis. And don’t blame her on that as she has not seen many patients enough to develop her expertise and give you the proper diagnosis. If you want to be her next little white mouse, then be my guest. I don’t think there is anyting more important than your own or your loved one’s health. When she called me a week later after I did the test she ordered for me, she called me and wanted me to come to her office for a second visit. I told her I could not take any work time off to visit her and kindly asked her to speak to me about the result on the phone. She declined me on that and her reasoning was “ I will not get reimbursed from your insurance company if I only speak to you on the phone, you need to come in for me to get paid” in her original words. How ironic is that! If you are a doctor, your primary responsibily should be helping patients and encouraging them. However, in her mind, her number one priority is to make money on you. I confirmed my conclusion by finding out that she not only hung up my phone right away but refused to give me back my lungXpress result or answering my calls.

Worst of all. I just received a letter from her Indian coalition saying that they will claim my insurance for the cost. I called them for the result and only to find out the word ”Indeterminate” on the report. It looks like this doctor and her Indian coalition has some hidden secrets that they don’t want it to be exposed. Should her have told lungXpress and put it on the report after the fact so the new startup company and survive or making more profit? I don’t know. But at least they owe me an honest answer form my blood test with their own findings, if they have one…

Anyway, I was lucky that I chose myself with a right doctor at the end and I have a happy ending. But at the same time I hope I could help more patients making the right choice of finding their best doctor. Stay away from the knockoffs..
