Overview

I was a graduate student working on a combined MD and PhD in neuroscience research when my twin boys arrived prematurely and needed the services of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This experience in the NICU environment inspired me to continue my work in neuroscience and specialize in neonatology. As a neonatologist, I care for newborn infants who require intensive care for different reasons, including being born prematurely, with heart defects or brain injuries. Providing treatment for critically ill infants, and helping to bring them to a place of stability and health, is truly gratifying. In addition to the clinical care I provide, I am involved in research regarding how to both mitigate and treat brain injuries which occur in infants due to premature birth.

His clinical expertise encompasses Cerebral Hypoxia and Necrotizing Enterocolitis.

Dr. Benner is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics, Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine. He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 11 peer reviewed articles.
