Paul Benson

Doctor

 Family Practice

Background Information:        

I have maintained my practice at this location since 1980.  I am Board Certified in Family Medicine.  The American Academy of HIV Medicine also credentials me as a specialist in HIV Medicine.

"I am quite proud of practice, staff, and patients who have been with me a long time.  This is unusual compared to most other medical practices where there is a high turn over of each.  I am able to do this because we maintain high quality standards in a friendly environment.  We continue to face the challenges, which at times are quite difficult when dealing with managed care insurance issues. 

Even thought I keep quite busy, I love doing exactly what I do - helping people."

I am a graduate of Wayne State University School of Medicine.  I completed a combined residency program at William Beaumont Hospital in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, and I am Board certified in both of these specialties.  I am excited about joining Dr. Benson's practice and look forward to providing you and your family with excellent care and service.  In addition to working out of St. John and Macomb Hospitals, my affiliation with William Beaumont Hospital, just about next door to Dr. Benson's office, will be a valuable asset to your and our practice.

"I love exactly what I do and where I am.  I am able to find the balance in providing primary care for newborns through the elderly and every age in-between. "

 Receptionist

Background Information:        

I have been a receptionist at Dr. Bensons office since 1998

"I have known Dr. Benson since 1980, when he opened his practice and became a happy hungry customer at Monty's restaurant, which I used to own with my husband Monty.  At first I was not sure if I could learn how to use a computer and such, but now, Dr. Benson says he wouldn't know what to do without me.  I love my job, which excluding my wonderful husband, is one the most important things in my life.  I love the people, I come across and being able to help them out."
