Sept. 3, 2020: Postponing your heath care is no longer recommended. We are doing whatever we can to keep you safe. Additionally, telemedical visits are still available when appropriate. Read about our protocols for your wellbeing.
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. Read more

We have enhanced our robust sanitizing practices to keep you safe. We have changed protocols to avoid crowding in the reception room and inside the entire office. Everyone entering the office is screened for symptoms of COVID-19 infection. Everyone is encouraged to arrive alone, unless a caregiver or other person is necessary to accompany you. Employees are instructed to stay home if they don’t feel well. To protect others, we have a separate back entrance for patients if there is any suggestion of having COVID-19 and they are taken to a negative pressure room to avoid transmission to others. Facial coverings and social distancing are required of everyone. We have the Rapid 15-minute COVID-19 test, and this has proven to be very useful for us.

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.
