Overview
I specialize in pediatric transplant infectious diseases and see patients who have undergone transplantation or who are otherwise immunocompromised. I perform pre-transplant evaluations and see patients in the hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of infections that occur as an effect of immunosuppression. Transplantation is a life-saving treatment for many children, and I support children along their paths to healing.

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 top areas of expertise are Neonatal Herpes, Neonatal Sepsis, Bacterial Meningitis, and Infantile Neutropenia.
