Wonderful surgeon. Great bedside manner. Office staff excellent.

I was overall satisfied with everything. I tried to keep Barnes since they know my medical history. The staff and doctors are really nice. Dr. Hacker is great at what he does!!! I had a gallbladder removal and he did amazing with no complications … More and my incisions are not infected or anything. He really saved my life! No more gall bladder attacks im so happy!!!! I CAN'T THANK HIM ENOUGH 😃😃😃

I have had excellent care from Dr. Yeager, Dr. Hacker and most recently Dr. Miller. I would highly recommend any of these three surgeons. All of these surgeons have a great bedside manner. If I need any further surgeries in the future, … More I would definitely use Benrus Surgical Associates.

Fantastic! I went in to have a cost checked out and he said it was fine. He asked if I wanted it removed then and there, and I said sure. After about 6 minutes of "surgery" and 2 stitches I was done and no more cost. Came back … More 1 week later to get the 2 stitched removed which took about 3 minutes to do! I HIGHLY recommend this place!
