James R. Benjamin, MD (retired)

Dr. Benjamin and his staff were great! Dr Benjamin took time to answer all of my questions. His staff was knowledgeable, pleasant and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. I am VERY HAPPY with my results.

As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Used Dr.B 3 times. Totally trusted him during the entire process. He helped me achieve my goal of wearing a bikini and I feel great in it ! He will always have my recommendation.

P.S
THANK YOU JOYCE [his wife/nurse] !

Dr Benjamin and Mrs. Joyce were NOTHING short of AMAZING. After my first plastic surgery experience with another Dr., I was skeptical and a little timid. I was referred to him through a liposuction place who was honest with me and told me that I need various body parts actually worked on... not just lipo.

I was blessed when I went to just my consultation to find such an actual caring staff. I mentioned what I was wanting to look like and he was honest about what the procedures would actually be once completed. Mrs. Joyce worked with my budget and as his right hand, she was always there for me.

His bedside manner afterwards was simply touching and so much more than I expected. I actually referred a couple of my friends to him and she also got some work done. I am grateful to have been referred to him and I let them know how much I appreciate them all the time. So how could I not give them a glowing positive review.

Dr. B and his staff was nothing short of amazing! I had my BBL/Lipo 360 done yesterday. From the start I felt comfortable after the initial consultation. Joyce knew exactly what I wanted and made me feel extremely comfortable. Dr. B was honest and knowledgeable and told me that he was not going to give me a fake Miami look, but something more natural that would boost my confidence. And this is exactly what I wanted, given that I am a working professional mom, not a video vixen. A chair and garment came with my package. During surgery, the nurses, the anesthesiologist and Dr. B all created a great atmosphere which took away my nervousness. Before I knew it I was under anesthesia and woke up a little sore but not much pain. This was a day 2. I’m still swollen so I can’t see my results, but I will post before and after photos soon. Based on what I see so far, I think I will be satisfied. So basically I rate Dr. B at a 10!

So I have not been able to get great photos but here is a side by side before and after that I took. My camera quality is horrible. All in all I am happy with my results. I’m still swollen around the tummy and back. I did not want a really big butt, but I just wanted my waist to be smaller and my butt a little rounder, which is exactly what I got. I do still have the back roll lines but they are much smaller than before.

I been researching bbl for five years. I was 185 and got down 160. I have been shopping around for an affordable price within my budget. Dr. James and Nurse Joyce were so amazing through the process. I wanted a more full but, and my legs/arms slim down. I am 3 day post and i am feeling better. It is not as painful as the TT. I have swollen and the pain is not to bad as long as you take the medicine.

Swollen. I go see
Dr. B tomorrow for an update. I have really put on any clothes just wearing dresses. I tried on these shorts to see if i can see the bubble. I have notice the swollen in the butt has gone down a little

I learn today that if i lost additional weight you can lose fat in your booty as well. So, i am glad i slim down before surgery. The weight you are before surgery helps if you like your body frame shape. Some have bigger butts cause of a heavier weight more fat to transfer. I did not want to do implants in the butt to get more phat butt lol. Most importantly i have to maintain my body weight. I am feeling much happier I can see my frame has slim down in comparison to before and after. The rolls are gone in my back - i will start to drive a little bit with my bbl pillow- no seating no longer than one hour on the bbl pillow. Recovery os going well just trying to protect my bubble booty- next follow up in two months stay tune - xoxox

Was honest and experienced. I had surgery 7/09/2020 . Iam 7 days post ob. I wanted to stay in Maryland but look like a florida girl. The easy of dr benjamin location and staying in md no flying. The easy is great

Dr. Benjamin (DR. B), wife Joyce (PA), and nurse Tina have exceeded my expectations!!! Their prices are reasonable but their bedside manor is to be admired! I LOVE MY NEW BODY!! THX DR B & PA JOYCE!!

Dr. B is the BEST in the DMV. I researched and had consultations with several doctors local and out of state. He's honest, awesome bedside manner and has a surgical center and team that were amazing. I'm 3 days post op from a tummy tuck and bra roll excision after a 91 pound weight loss after the gastric sleeve. My results are amazing already!

Today I'm 5 days post OP and feeling great! I would like to add that Dr. Benjamin's wife Joyce is a PA and amazing to work with as well. She and Dr. B answered their cell phones or texts from my husband or I with any questions and even looked at my husband's pictures of items in the store he was trying to buy for my wounds and counselled him on what to purchase.:). I've only worked with Joyce and Dr. B so I haven't had any issues with anyone answering phones in a rude way like others have said and the surgical center staff that he uses is amazing.

My experience with Doctor B. was amazing from start to finish! I had two consults with him to be sure that this was what I really wanted to do and then this past summer in July 2019, I knew for sure. I was physically and mentally prepared to undergo the procedure. All went well without any issues or concerns. I went in to the surgery center whole and came out whole in one piece minus the extra waistline, tummy and love handles! Dr. B. was professional, attentive and responsive from consult to post procedure. I am truly amazed at what he has done with my body...its almost unrecognizable! I sometimes have to pinch myself to be sure that it's me...oh wow! I would recommend him to all of my friends, family, neighbors, etc. I am glad that I chose to have the tummy tuck and lipo. I am also glad that I chose Dr. B. for the procedure. Kudos to you Dr. B. you really did it this time...I'm all smiles and I have you to thank for it!!!!! D.

My experience with Dr. B was amazing. His knowledge and patience helped me to feel at ease. Thank you for your honesty and amazing staff. Your hands should be given a medal!!! My stomach and hips look amazing!!
