July 7, 2020: The 23rd World AIDS Conference is happening now and you can be a part of it by clicking here. The first day of the conference was great. It was a little bit of a challenge attending it virtually instead of in person. The times are Pacific time so you need to add 3 hours when looking at the program. Enjoy and learn! Read more
June 10, 2020: Since 1980 Dr. Paul Benson and the Be Well Medical Center has been an inclusive medical center celebrating diversity … We take tremendous pride in our history of creating a safe space for people of all backgrounds. Our non-discrimination policy has always been prominently displayed in our corridor. The care and attention we provide to populations of people who have traditionally been neglected by the healthcare industry is something that sets our practice apart from others. Today is an uncertain and critical time for our country and all of its people. We strongly believe, being a medical center of inclusion, we should affirm: BLACK LIVES MATTER.

- In addition to sanitizing exam rooms in between each patient, we are sanitizing all countertops, knobs, bathrooms, keyboards, and other frequently touched surfaces every other hour or more often as we see fit. This include the phlebotomy lab and pharmacy.
- Because every patient encounter is unique, individual care decisions require independent medical judgement. We ask all patients with symptoms of the flu or uncertainty of a viral infection, to let us know before coming to the office. We may be asking you to enter our office through a private entrance in the back of the building and avoid using the reception room. We might place you in a negative air pressure exam room to minimize exposure to others.

We Take You and Your Family's Health Seriously
Compassionate Care for All Lifestyles
We are committed to provide quality health care and to serve our patients without regard to race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, political preferences, or sexual orientation.
At the Be Well Medical Center, we combine the best of the traditional with the best of the new.
In an era of increasing economic pressures, government regulations, and insurance company mandates, the practice of medicine is at risk of becoming rushed, bureaucratic, and dehumanized. But at Be Well, we remain committed to being your neighborhood medical center with a heart. No matter how the world of medicine changes, be assured that patience, listening, compassion — the practice of medicine with a human touch — will never go out of fashion at Be Well.
At the same time, providing the best care requires keeping up with all the latest advances in medical knowledge, innovations, and technology. Medical care is multi-faceted. It includes diagnostics, treatment, therapeutics, and follow-up. In all these areas, Be Well incorporates all that modern medicine has to offer to fully meet the needs of our valued patients. Please explore our website, learn more about our philosophy, services we offer, the Be Well Patient Portal, insurance providers and medical specialists we work with, our staff, and much more.
