Michael J. Bentze, D.O. 11715 Rangeland Parkway, Bradenton, FL 34211

"Dr Bentze is great, but the process of trying to get an appointment is ridiculous. I had a bad cold August 18th and waited on hold twice for over 10 minutes. I requested an appointment on the patient portal and was called by his nurse 10 days later !! She was so snippy when I told her I went to urgent care because the cold became bronchitis. She rudely yelled, " why didn't you wait for 12 minutes on hold!!" I'm sorry but when your coughing to the point of almost passing out , you don't feel like waiting on hold " for up to 12 minutes!""

"Dr Michael Bentze is the best doctor I have ever seen! VERY knowledgeable and up to date. Easy to talk to and extremely thorough, both in consultation and exam. Highest marks!!"

"Dr Michael Bentze has been primary physician for 15 plus years he's an excellent doctor and I believe he's very hands on as well as has great bedside manner I've had some complicated issues and we always work through them. He always is on time and very compassionate"

"Dr. Bentze has been the primary “copilot” in my healthcare journey for the past 14 years. I have an exceptionally complicated medical case that most physicians would drop like a hot rock, but he has been truly present with me through the worst and best times. Dr. Bentze’s listening skills are particularly keen, as is his ability to triage, form a plan of care, and think outside the box. He also has a fantastic sense of humor, which I find to be healing. He’s not very hands on, so if you’re looking for someone who touches you every time you visit, he won’t be a good fit for you. But if you want a doctor who genuinely cares about your well-being and is a partner in your health, Dr. Bentze is the best. (Did I mention he’s also somehow always on time?) The office could be managed better (growing pains), but the vast majority of the staff will be kind to you if you treat them with respect. An aside during COVID: I would also like to add that they’ve taken great precautions to protect patients during the COVID pandemic. The office has always been clean, but they’re going the extra mile to make certain that everyone is safe. Telemedicine appointments are available, too."

"Dr. Bentze is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate. He offers a variety of options to resolve medical issues. Willing to answer any questions with clear recommendations. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and prompt. I would highly recommend Dr. Bentze."
