Overview

The desire to become a physician and cardiologist stems primary from his environment. Dr. Bennett grew up in a single-parent home in an impoverished inner-city housing project in Birmingham, Alabama. In this world, healthcare was viewed as an unaffordable luxury rather than a basic necessity of life. There were no annual checkups, no preventive medicine and no early diagnoses. Instead, healthcare was a community filled with fears and misconceptions about medicine— the harsh reality of poverty.

Dr. Bennett is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Heart Attack. His top areas of expertise are Peripheral Artery Disease, Arterial Insufficiency, Idiopathic Edema, and Stasis Dermatitis and Ulcers.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 8 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years. In particular, he has co-authored 2 articles in the study of Heart Attack.
