| Bio: | Dr. Benitez practiced successfully in our Clarksville office for nearly 5 years until October 2007. She joined our Mt Juliet group bringing with her 12 years of work experience. She obtained her MD in the Philippines in 1989 and finished her pediatric residency at the North Carolina Baptist Hospital/Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 1995. She is board-certified and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She has special interests in asthma, allergies, nutrition, and preventive care. She has recently moved to the Gallatin/Hendersonville area to be near her sweetheart, family, and friends. She enjoys water sports and ballroom dancing. She speaks English, Tagalog, and some Spanish. Her personal motto: "Satisfying your child's medical needs and exceeding your (parent's) expectations are my personal goals with every patient under my care. I make sure that every child is treated with the best possible medical care and sincere compassion. The same way I would like my own family to be treated." Dr. Benitez is now fulltime at the Mt Juliet office and is accepting new patients. |
