BENNINGTON, Vt. — Dr. David M. Gorson, an endocrinologist and member of the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center medical staff, has once again been named as one of the Best Doctors in America for 2015 - 2016.

Gorson also received the same recognition 2009 - 2012.

The Best Doctors in America  List is assembled by Best Doctors. It is audited and certified by Gallup, and national results accrue from polling of more than 40,000 physicians.  Physicians, polled confidentially, answer questions related to their referral preferences. Best Doctors, Inc. evaluates the results, and verifies additional detailed inclusion criteria in order for a physician to be included on the list.  Only the top 5 percent of doctors in their respective specialties are listed.


In addition to the Best Doctors in America honor, Gorson was also listed as a Best Doctor in the Endocrinology category in the August 2015 issue of Capital Region Living Magazine. He and one other endocrinologist were chosen from among 23 local Endocrinologists in the Capital Region, southern Vermont, and western Massachusetts region.

“It’s gratifying to receive this recognition, and I could not have done it without the support of my excellent staff,” Gorson said. “We look forward to continuing to provide the highest quality care for our patients.”

Dr. Gorson is located in Suite 301 of the Medical Office Building on the SVMC campus in Bennington. The practice offers treatment for hormonal and metabolic disorders, including diabetes, osteoporosis and thyroid disorders. Dr. Gorson can be reached at 802-442-3022.

Coggins Auto Group Celebrates Five Years

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
BENNINGTON, Vt. — The family-owned Coggins Auto Group is celebrating five years of operations: Coggins Toyota of Bennington and Coggins Honda of Bennington, and Coggins of the Berkshires in nearby Massachusetts.
 
Mike Coggins purchased three dealerships — Honda, Toyota and Ford — in 2020 with a goal to restore trust and a "true sense of community-minded dealership culture." 
 
"My primary focus from day one was bringing back that connection to the region," Coggins had said back in 2021. "This area values real relationships. They want to know the people they're doing business with. We set out to rebuild that trust."
 
The Ford dealership was sold off in 2023 and Coggins of the Berkshires, with sales and services for used cars, opened the same year in Pittsfield, Mass. 
 
According to Coggins Auto Group, the dealerships had social media ratings of two stars when they were purchased; now all Coggins locations are garnering more than four stars in customer satisfaction reviews. 
 
"We sell cars, and we fix cars, and our goal is just to make our customers happy, and keep our employees happy, and that's what's made this really work these last few years," said General Manager Scott O'Connell.
 
Coggins Auto Group is also involved in events that benefit the community, including its popular annual charity golf tournament that funds local charities and organizations such as the Bennington Little League.
