I found Dr. Benge to be very professional, polite, and helpful in his diagnosis.

Dr. Benge saved my life by his prompt attention and excellent surgical skills to my bladder cancer. I will always be grateful to him for his kindness and his skills.

For someone who sees over 60 patients a day, always polite and helpful, very professional. People who complain that he schedules too many people at one time should encourage other patients to show up on time, or at all. Best urologist there is!

I’m a patient of Dr; Benge, he’s a excellent Urologist, and I’m pleased with his care. The entire Staff, Medical Nurse, Jenn, Medical Coordinator, Emily, and all the entire team, at Brandywine Urology. Glad to be a patient there! John Buckley

If you are looking for a doctor with a great bedside manner that spends a lot of time with you, this doctor is not for you. But, if you are looking for a doctor who is knowledgeable and can diagnose and treat your problem quickly, then this is the doctor for you. He was timely with my appointments, sent me for tests, and was able to quickly resolve my issues. I was grateful that he got me in and out as quickly as possible since it really was not one of my favorite places to be!

I had Green Laser Surgery to correct the need to get up every 2 - 3 hours after going to bed. Medication he prescribed did nothing. NEVER did Dr Benge discuss the possible negative after effects of the green light laser. NEVER MENTIONED RETROGRADE EJACULATION. Procedure did not help with original problem. I am mid 50s and now have this condition for remainder of my life. Sex is no longer satisfies my wife of myself.

This doctor gives me the bum’s rush to get out of the office. Trying to get any information is like pulling teeth. After all, I’m the patient and it’s my body and I have a right to know what’s going on. I would have preferred any other doctor in this practice but him. His bedside manner is awful and I believe he’s in it for the money so he can get you in and out the door to get your copay.

Patient died because of the cancer that Dr Benge did not get all out. Also did not tell the family of the patient after the surgery that he also took his appendix and prostate. Patient NEVER was told he would be taking his prostate AND did not tell family in the post surgery meeting.

This doctor was very cold and uncaring regarding a sensitive and embarrassing issue. He was belittling to me. I left feeling frustrated and embarrassed. I called the office to let them know and they were sympathetic but ultimately backed him up.

Absolutely awful!! He has no bedside manner and shows no empathy towards the patient. He misdiagnosed me, gave me medicine that INTERACTED with a medicine I was already on and dismissed my concerns. I got more help from the ER doctor who treated me than him after my ER visit. His basic outlook is --if yhs test doesnt show anything, nothing must be wrong!-- Complete jerk.

Unbelievably bad... I see 20 specialists, him being one the first. Schedules many patients ... AT THE SAME TIME !!!... he will lie directly too you, say he is going to check on your results, and you can hear him in the next office talking to another patient saying the same thing. He ordered a painful test which involved a camera going up the penis, another urologist was stunned when I told him, given my symptoms were not in any way related to a test like that. He looks like a creep, because he is.

This guy is late and very unprofessional. Been to see him three times, still doesnt remember me. He never knows whats happening, schedules 5 people for the exact same time, has his nurses to all the work. Hands out antibiotics, and gives crazy diagnoses without explanation. AVOID at all costs

Lazy doctor. Gave me meds that didnt work. No real explanation of my condition. After researching myself online my symptoms, it appeared I had interstitial cystitis not overactive bladder as he diagnosed me with. When I asked him if I could have ic, he said, --maybe, sure we can test for it.-- And guess what, when he tested me, I did have IC. He was treating me for overactive bladder when that wasnt even my problem. I shouldnt have to do a doctors job for him. I got a little better after I started taking meds for IC, but was still having a lot of issues. I finally saw another urologist and found out I also had pelvic floor disorder and Vulvodynia. He is not a good doctor. Go elsewhere.

Office staff is pitiful. They could care less about the patient - the doctor isn't much better. He seems to be completely disinterested in his patients and is in a hurry to get to the next one, must be all about the dollar signs for this one.

Lack of communication from preps needed, test results, and calling on the phone is a waste of time since no one answers. Rush job with little or no info given to me.

Nastiest staff Ive ever dealt with. Never had nurse hang up on me before
January 12 , 2021
Horrible, in every sense of the word, like someone else said, he schedules a bunch of people at the same time. He treats your problem like it was a fast food order, you wait for hours, only to find out hes seeing multiple patients. He has various random nurses do his work. He has no idea who you are, spends little to no time with you. Had a test done to scope out my bladder, involved a painful camera going up my penis, I learn later that various other doctors said it was a completely nonsense test, given my situation. No reason to see this guy, ZERO NONE, avoid at all costs.
