I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Benedict for his exceptional care and expertise in treating my mother. She recently underwent a keyhole lung surgery under his care, and we are incredibly thankful that it was a success. Despite the unexpected diagnosis of Stage 1 cancer, Dr. Benethic’s prompt and precise approach ensured that the surgery went smoothly, and my mother’s recovery has been remarkably fast. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain every detail thoroughly and addressing all our concerns with professionalism and kindness.

Dr Ben was so kind and explained the details of my dad's surgery very well. The surgery went smoothly for 3 hours, and my dad's recovery was good for just a few days stayed at the hospital. The stitches also done well. Only need to be back again 3 months. Very happy with the outcome.

My mother recently underwent keyhole lung surgery under the care of Dr. Benedict, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. The procedure lasted around three hours, and from start to finish, Dr. Benedict showed exceptional professionalism, care, and expertise. He explained everything clearly before and after the surgery, which helped ease our worries and made the process much less daunting. His calm and confident manner gave our family a great sense of comfort during a very stressful time. We are deeply appreciative of the care provided and highly recommend Dr. Benedict and the team for anyone in need of specialised lung treatment. Thank you again for making a difficult time more manageable with your outstanding care and communication.
