Dear Dr. Benson, I'll never forget all the labs we reviewed together, and you walked me through some terrifying, tough moments - you were there for me. Your expertise, compassion, and kindness i know saved my life and I will always be so grateful. But it's not just that moment that stands out to me. It's the ongoing support and care you've provided me over the last few years, always taking the time to answer my questions, address my concerns, and encourage me to take ownership of my health. Your dedication to your patients is truly remarkable, and I feel so lucky to have you as my doctor. Thank you, Dr. Benson, for being an exceptional physician and an extraordinary human being. I will never forget the difference you've made in my life.

Meet Scarlet Benson, MD

As a practicing physician with extensive training and experience in the care of acutely ill/critical patients as well as treating patients with chronic medical conditions, I am here to provide exemplary, individualized care to those seeking universal medical treatment and guidance. I prioritize a healthy, active lifestyle for myself and am passionate about encouraging my patients to do the same.

In my holistic approach to wellness, I partner with my patients in creating comprehensive healthcare plans to meet their unique needs and goals. My training at a Harvard-affiliated academic institution in Boston provided a solid background for caring for my patients using a traditional background in evidence-based medicine. In addition, my training in integrative medicine allows me to provide fresh insights and treatment options, including alternative dietary recommendations, herbal and nutritional supplements, and referrals to complementary care practitioners in acupuncture, massage, and more. As a female physician, I am also well versed in the most up to date advances in women’s healthcare.

My 10-year background in emergency medicine gives me the unique ability to effectively manage many urgent/emergent conditions which most primary care physicians are unable to treat in the office. My MDVIP-affiliated practice is here to provide you with private, personalized care when you need it most.

I speak English and basic Spanish, and serve the greater Ft. Lauderdale area, including as far south as Miami.

I look forward to partnering with and supporting you in your journey to optimal wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

from Danny in FL • January 19, 2024

I am an unusually driven and stubborn man. It’s not easy to be around me. I get that. I know what I want and I go after it. My wife is an angel, trust me! Outside of my work, I compete in one of the most competitive classes in all of SCCA club racing, Spec Miata.
