High Praise From Our Patients

“I was able to meet Dr. Benoit and Dr. Rumsey. Dr. Rumsey ended up doing my surgery. I cannot recommend highly enough he and his team. I was treated with respect and never felt uncomfortable or intimidated. All questions were answered with kindness and patience. They made my experience the best it could be. Thank you!”

Dr. Rumsey and his staff are incredible. I have seen many ob/gyns over the last 20 years and Dr. Rumsey is by far the best. He is the most down to earth and caring Doctor I have ever had. He truly cares about his patients. I am so thankful I was under his care before, during and after my pregnancy. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done for me.

Not very many doctors end up feeling like part of your family. Dr. Benoit has not only been our doctor for over 2 decades but has delivered 18 of my immediate family’s babies. (Let alone numerous friend’s babies) His experience and attentiveness is top notch and he will fight for his patient’s needs and desires. He has become a dear friend and we joke that we want him to live and practice forever.

We had Dr. Benoit deliver both of our babies! Dr. Rumsey helped with the second c-section. They were so happy to do my surgery. They had the best time. It really helped ease my mind on what was actually happening to me. They are simply the best!! They both have the absolute best bedside manner! The office is SO welcoming, and so helpful with the babies/kids when you have to bring them to an appt. Highly recommend them! I'd give them a million stars if I could!

Best OBGYN office around! I’ve seen all 3 providers between my 2 pregnancies and have had nothing but exceptional care. They are all incredibly knowledgeable and I’ve never left an office visit feeling like my concerns went unanswered. The whole staff is caring and friendly, you can tell everyone truly cares about their patients. I’ve had great luck getting appointments the same day or next day for acute issues, or at least getting my concerns put at ease over the phone with their clinical staff. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Words cannot describe how thankful I am to Dr. Rumsey for saving my daughter’s life and my life. A traumatic and amazing day I will never forget. I am so grateful to him and owe him so much more than a review can provide. He saved me to be able to be here to witness every day of my daughter’s life. This office is so wonderful and the people there are great. I couldn’t imagine not having Dr. Rumsey with me through all of my prenatal and postnatal care.

I'd give ten stars if I could! Amazing place and staff who treat you like family, not a number.
