Gordon Benner

Gordon Benner has been my physician for the past 15 years. He is competent and will give you the information you need, tho in general does not have a chatty personality. (I like the fact that he was the physician on a Mt. Everest climb.). I had to see Elizabeth Powell one time when he was unavailable, and found her to be very warm and personable. Claire

Re: Female Primary Care Physician (March 2005)
My mom, husband, and I have been seeing Elizabeth Powell for years now, and I like her very much. She's thorough and a good communicator, willing to listen to your concerns and take the time to respond. I switched to her when she was able to identify a drug allergy (unusual symptoms) that another on-call doctor couldn't. The office is right by Alta Bates on Colby St, 510-848-7533.

Re: Health Net Primary physician (Oct 2004)
Hi. I had been seeing Dr.Powell for about a year. If you can see Dr. Lee in the Berkeley Primary Care group, I'd suggest seeing her instead. She's new to the group, but friendly and fairly reasonable in this wonderful world of managed health care.

I would highly recommend Elizabeth Powell as an MD. She is thorough, respectful and very approachable. She has been my MD for several years and has alway been great. MK

Elizabeth Powell has been my primary care physician for about 8 years now, and my experiences with her have been pretty positive. I don't go to her anymore for my annual exam, since I acquired a GYN with my first pregnancy, but she's always been helpful for the few minor ailments I've picked up along the way, and she is certainly not patronizing. I don't think she would be hostile to alternative treatments, but I don't have personal knowledge of that, as I have been fortunate with my health and have not had much need to explore alternative medicine. You could probably arrange a ''get-acquainted'' meeting with her - - I know my OB/GYN did those, and Dr. Powell might, too. Wendy

Dr. Powell was my primary care physician for a few years until my HMO stopped dealing with her practice. I would rate her OK--not stellar, not disappointing, basically average. She's a calm, nonagressive person. I saw Jauregui once for an acute illness and was put off by his brusque manner...but it was flu season and they were swamped. Vamail
