Bennett Martin, MD

Dr. Bennett makes diagnoses very quickly without making questions, and has being wrong a few times. He seems to always be in a hurry. He usually seats down right away when entering the room as if he is always tired. He can be very rude if asked questions as if I should know the answer. It is very difficult to get an appointment and the staff is not friendly. I do not recommend Dr. Bennett as a physician.

Dr. Bennett practically saved my life.
He really listened to my problems and provided a solution that worked better then I hoped.
I’m lucky because I happen to live close, but even if I lived far far away… I would still go to see him in sherman oaks.

Had my first visit with Dr. Bennett today. He was very attentive, not in a rush at all. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The parking situation could be better, but that’s minor. Overall, a very good experience.

Called at 9 am on a Friday with a sore throat and they got me in before he closed for the morning. They are SO good at doing that, and I used to pay only cash to a doctor who was closer but even his staff wasn’t this accommodating. I’m so grateful he’s my doctor because one prescription started on Friday took care of my sore throat. He’s smart, thorough, and cares about his patients.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Bennett’s for many years. I have always appreciated the care that he has given us. I work in the workers’ compensation field, and see so many people who’s health been ruined by doctors who just hand out drugs. Dr. Bennett is very conservative. He provides them when needed, but not just to pacify a patient. Some people don’t like that. He also tells you the truth and again some people don’t like that. Every referral that he has given us has been to a truly wonderful doctor. We will continue to go to Dr. Bennett.

I have been seeing Dr. Bennett for a few years, and he has always been straight forward, and to the point. I have had issues related to neurological disorders, and high cholesterol issues. His focus and no nonsense approach might not work for some, but that is exactly what I want from a doctor. Dr. Bennett had focused on possible issues related to headaches, and with the personality of a stern father, urged me to get a CT and see a neurologist. As he suspected, they discovered I have a problem with my carotid artery and cavernous fistula. What ever that is.
My neurologist has concerns about this and I will be following his direction. Dr. Bennetts instincts were correct. And his new office is really nice.

worst doctor of all time
he fell asleep during my appointment and didnt diagnose me correctly! spare yourself and dont go to him!

I chose this office because it is close to my house. The office did not present itself very well. It was very dirty — not sterile looking like every doctor’s office I have ever seen. Dr. Bennett had stains on his lab coat. The doctor was okay, but not particularly friendly and seemed bored with his practice.

I was hoping to find a great doctor close to our house so I chose Dr. Bennett.
When I first arrived I noticed that one of the windows outside of the office was broken and patched together with tape. The receptionist was very friendly and professional, however she was allowed to bring her baby to work with her which seemed out of the ordinary for a doctors office. Regardless of these two oddities, I had an open mind and looked forward to meeting the doctor.
My appointment was for 9:45 and the doctor did not arrive to the office until 10:30. When he finally came to my room he did not apologize for being late or even acknowledge the fact that he wasn’t in the office at the time of my appointment.
The office was very cluttered and didn’t seem clean. While I had plenty of to sit and observe the offices I noticed that the floors seemed dirty and the needle waste bin was completely full.
The doctors demeanor was not friendly and he seemed a little agitated that I was there.
Given my first experience, I would not recommend going to this office, however others have had a great experience with him. If I gave this office a second chance my experience might be totally different, however, I am not willing to waste my time trying.

One of the filthiest offices I’ve ever been in. Looked like a third world clinic. The exam table was broken, the walls dirty with suff marks and paint peeling, the floor was cracked and dirty. The lobby carpet was dirty, the whole office felt like it needed to be razed.

Very nice man. Seems lonely though, so I chatted with him a bit about germs and things.
I went in today because I know I’ve some type of ear infection and an annoying cough. He seemed unfriendly at first but he turned out to be very down to earth. He called my prescription in to this pharmacy he works with a lot I’m assuming, so that once I got there my medications would be ready for me.
When I got to the pharmacy, it’s called Volume Drug on Magnolia and Coldwater Canyon, they were so nice that I didn’t even feel like I was in LA. It felt like a small town somewhere in Montana. But there were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for you at the counter, she gave me a cold bottle of water since it was so hot outside so that I could cool off and take my antibiotic. They also gave me 5% off since I paid with cash.
Best experience thus far at a pharmacy.
And go see Dr. Bennett, he’s very helpful and feels more like a father figure than a doctor.
