I am very committed to partnering with and empowering patients to take charge of their health and to help them manage their illness. I was drawn to pulmonary medicine because of the many challenging illnesses that can affect the lungs. Before becoming a pulmonologist, I worked as a general internist in primary care. I understand the impact conditions like emphysema, asthma and sleep apnea can have on one's quality of life. I find that developing long-term, personalized relationships with patients is key to helping them manage their health optimally. To me, these personalized relationships are the most rewarding experience of being a doctor. My areas of interest include general pulmonary medicine, COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, sleep medicine and public health. Dr. Benson is highly rated in 11 conditions, according to our data.

I've always been service-oriented, and over the years, my love of physiology, health and fitness led me to pulmonary medicine. In my practice, I enjoy helping people and making a difference in their lives. I like to treat my patients the way I would treat a member of my family. I went to medical school then followed with residencies in internal medicine, pulmonary medicine and critical care medicine all at the University of Minnesota. I also completed a master's in public health with a focus on epidemiology at the University of Minnesota. I founded the Asthma Center at the HealthPartners Specialty Center and continue as co-director to this day. I am also currently the Department Head for the Regions Sleep Center. My special interests include sleep and obstructive airway disease, chronic cough, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis. I conduct research in asthma and COPD as well as sleep in adults, and I am a co-investigator in the National Institutes of Health-sponsored COPD Clinical Research Network and COPD gene trials. I'm married and have four children. My idea of relaxing is working out; I enjoy rowing, running, circuit training, biking and cross-country skiing. I'm also an avid volunteer and serve on the boards of several non-profit organizations. Dr. Mcevoy is highly rated in 8 conditions, according to our data.
