Dr. Benyamini is an exceptional surgeon. Not only is he talented at what he does, he is also kind, caring and has an excellent bedside manner. I met Dr. Benyamini last year when my original surgeon was tied up and could not perform my gallbladder surgery. He did a great job on my laparoscopic cholecystectomy. I reached out to him again a year later to fix my hernia. I just had the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery last week and the results were nothing but amazing. If you are looking for a highly qualified surgeon, Dr. Benyamini is your guy. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Benyamini was called in to perform an emergency appendectomy on me. I was in a completely unfamiliar hospital about to go under the knife of a surgeon I'd never met nor been referred to by anyone I trusted. My anxiety was reaching a peak when he introduced himself, gently took charge of the situation and explained the procedure. His knowledge, attentiveness and quiet confidence were so reassuring my fears melted away. The surgery went beautifully! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great surgeon.

Dr. Benyamini is such a great surgeon, he is very polite, educated and just excellent. He is also very knowledgeable. I am glad my first surgery was such a great experience with him and all the nurses at Olimpia. Not one single time did I doubt him. Every question I had he answered. Yes, at first I was super nervous since it was my first surgery ever. But I feel blessed I had such an amazing surgeon that made me feel confident and less anxious. We need more surgeons like him!
Dr. Benyamini you are the Best!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joselin C.Los Angeles, CA072Jul 1, 2019
Rest assured, with Dr Benyamini you are in great and capable hands!
In early April my father went to urgent care for what we thought was back pain. After several stressful days in the hospital, we learned that he was suffering from a serious intestinal issue and was in dire need of surgery. Needless to say, panic set in and our stress levels skyrocketed.
We were significantly relieved when the hospital described the assigned surgeon as highly talented. Dr Benyamini gave us a thorough explanation of the procedure, TWICE. My sister was out on a call while he explained this the first time and he gladly updated her when she returned. Your patience did not go unnoticed! His honesty and attentiveness, unwavering professionalism, skilled, amazing bedside manner! Not to mention the fact that he has a very welcoming presence, an essential trait you want to find in a surgeon.

Doctor Benyamini changed my experience as a patient.
I had a bad infection after another sergeant, and I requested a new Doctor.
To my luck I got Doctor Benyamini.
He made sure to do what was necessary for me to recover.
He is knowledgeable and always thinks a few steps ahead.
You can truly tell he cares about his job and patients.
He changed me from being afraid of hospitals and doctors to completely trusting him.
Being at his clinic and sitting in the waiting room I got to meet a few of the people he helped, he truly works magic.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mauricio O.Los Angeles, CA5261May 8, 2019
Dr PJ Benyamini and Dr Souther are not only amazing angels sent to save my father but they are truly amazing people. They followed up daily at the hospital with us and made my family feel extremely comforted. The communication and information was detailed and helpful. My dad has a new opportunity to live a beautiful life, a 2nd chance thanks to Dr Benyamini. I am forever grateful.

Dr Benyamini now practices at Olympia Medical Center.
I ended up in the ER on Christmas night.
My 2nd time in 2 weeks.
Acute Pancreatitis from Gallstones.
Gallbladder had to come out.
The ER doctor let me know he had arranged for a surgeon and that he was REALLY EXCELLENT. Told me I'd be in great hands.
After being admitted I was visited by Dr Benyamini.
It is immediately apparent that he is comfortably confident (in a good way) about the surgery he will perform. He is unassuming and available for as many questions you have. He is not dismissive and he respects and addresses your concerns.
Once we'd arranged the surgery, he continued to make sure I knew I was in good hands and that they'd take good care of me.
And, they did.
He also went and introduced himself to my family waiting during surgery, and let them know what to expect and then he gave them the update after surgery. His manner made my family feel that I was in safe hands.
If you need ANY kind of surgery you truly should arrange a consultation.
ALSO - the surgical team and the hospital took 5 STAR care of me.
I truly truly felt lucky this is where I landed that night.

Dr. Benyamini was an instrumental part in saving my Mom's life and we will be forever grateful. May the lord continue to bless him with the ability to heal. He was by her side everyday until the end of her recovery. I don't know another surgeon that could offer her such skill and care.

I could not recommend Dr Benyamini more. He is amazing. I have had many ER visits and had surgeries and honestly he blows any dr out of the water. His bedside manner, his stitches, skill and care! I don't want to stop seeing him but no longer need to see him. He is amazing and I have been to some of the best hospitals. Thank yuh Dr. Benyamini! I still want you to be my dr! You are amazing
