Overview

It is an honor to be a family medicine doctor and to walk alongside patients as they navigate health issues through prevention and chronic care management. I enjoy translating medical concepts into language that is easy for patients to understand and using shared decision-making to help them make choices that are most appropriate for their physical and mental health. I have three beautiful, energetic, school-age boys. I love running, reading, and solving word puzzles.

Dr. Benninger is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Acute Pancreatitis. Her top areas of expertise are Sepsis, COVID-19, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), Acute Pancreatitis, and Endoscopy.
