Overview
As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a doctor. Specifically, I wanted to be just like my own pediatrician, someone who somehow managed to make me feel better even when I had chicken pox or a broken arm. During my training, I realized that, in order to be the best pediatrician possible, I needed to learn more about how to treat and prevent infections. Consequently, I decided to do a month-long elective in pediatric infectious diseases. I was hooked! I love the combination of patient care and research that I have as a pediatric infectious diseases doctor at Duke.

Duke Children's Health Center Infectious Diseases Clinic
I’m a pediatric infectious diseases specialist. The patients that I see are primarily very immune compromised children, so premature infants with severe infection, children with HIV, and children who had a stem cell transplant or chemotherapy and are at high risk for infection. My clinical care focuses on providing ideal therapy and ideal dosing to help prevent severe neurologic injury after infections in premature infants. With premature infants, they can’t tell you their symptoms and there’s no one perfect answer with dosage, so the medicine is really as much art as it is facts. And that’s really my favorite part of my job – figuring out the right dose for that patient and using that knowledge to help the next patient who comes into the unit. Outside of work, I participate in Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, and baseball with my wife and four children. Dr. Benjamin is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Neonatal Herpes, Neonatal Sepsis, Bacterial Meningitis, and Infantile Neutropenia.
