What Members Are Saying

I appreciate Dr. Benson, because he is thorough, and listens. He is interested in what is going on with me, and my opinions about my status. He has a wealth of medical knowledge and happily shares it slowly so as to not overwhelm us patients. He always gets back to us when we call, and we can get appointments when we need them. He is a Godsend for my family.

Patient of Stuart J. Benson, DO, FACOI

I've been using the MDVIP program and Dr Benson for a couple years now. I've really enjoyed the detailed information in the MDVIP program and working with Dr Benson. Until my most recent physical last November, I was still relying on medication to deal with most of the impact of having type 2 diabetes. Dr Benson has encouraged other changes along the way but in this last physical he also took me through the information and labs to show how I was essentially out of medication options for control of negative impact and would eventually need to look at other ways he could treat the other degenerative diseases and impact from diabetes. Dr Benson knows I am a reader and I like to research, so he walked me through all of the labs and different ways they were affecting each other and my body. This info is what I took home that day to start learning much more about what was taking place in my body at a cellular level and how I needed to fix inflammation and metabolic issues before most other things would help. As I learned about how glucose was going to impact my body long term, I found that this time was different from diets in the past. This was a different challenge. Not one of fighting the scale, but more of a science challenge and a battle to fix things in my body vs. just change pounds. I started using tools like intermittent fasting to help adjust eating times and for the impact on insulin resistance, started eating low carb and higher protein, started working out again and before long major changes were happening and in ways where the feel vs. the weight was my motivator. Since November I am down 42 pounds, my blood sugar levels are consistently at levels of no diabetes, not just pre-diabetic or "well managed" diabetic levels. My blood pressure is at the bottom end of ideal levels and my body is changing in all the right ways. I had to make a trip to get new clothes last week and how awesome it was to shop what is on the shelf and not have to order to get the "big and tall" sizes. I have more work to do and long-term behaviors to continue to build in place. My goal is and will be putting my diabetes into remission and in turn helping motivate others to do pursue the same. I am already sharing what I've learned along the way and the MDVIP program info so they can review it and for those in my area also take a look at Doc Benson's program. He gets a ton of the credit for this and how he carefully enabled me to have a choice, to know the outcome good and bad in how I made it and then supporting me now with the labs and changes I need to continue this journey. This is how the relationship should work! On a side note, he also helped me get the MDVIP information to my employer and now MDVIP is the provider for the Wendy's Company Executive health program! Win win all the way around! Thanks MDVIP and Doctor Benson for helping me find my way to better health and a chance at more trips around the sun. We also have my wife in the MDVIP program, and both my teenagers are using Dr Benson for their PCP.

Dr. Stuart Benson is the best listener I've ever encountered in the medical profession. He's not just concerned about my symptoms, but has a real goal of moving me toward excellent health. So he orders more tests than most, and pays attention to them. He goes way beyond trying to earn his money.

Meet Stuart J. Benson, DO, FACOI

My internal medicine practice is in Rogers, Arkansas. I have been a primary care physician in
Northwest Arkansas for more than 30 years. As a personal physician, I feel that traditional primary care medicine has changed due to a lack of time physicians have with patients during visits.

My goal as a physician is to provide a more personalized approach to patient care by spending more time listening to you. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medical practices. The annual MDVIP Wellness Program can aid in identifying certain risk markers, and we can customize an action plan as you work to stay ahead of your health.

I have community affiliations with the hospital systems in the Northwest Arkansas area. Because I am not tied to one institution, I can refer to hospitals and specialists who I feel may be appropriate for you.

Because my practice is smaller in size, I can offer appointments for the same or next day. Phone calls are typically answered by a staff member and, importantly, visits are relaxed and not rushed.

Patients can contact me after hours for more urgent matters. Also, I can also provide general primary care for dependents from ages 14 to 26. We also offer 30-minute routine follow-up visits.

I am excited to have more time and focused energy to help you work toward improved health and well-being.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Stuart J. Benson, DO, FACOI

So, thank you Dr. Benson for your marvelous care for all of these years.

from Kathryn in AR • March 11, 2018

Actually, my story begins long before Dr. Benson was affiliated with MDVIP. He has cared for me since the 1990's. I have always appreciated the fact that he would take the time needed to care for my needs and to insure that I had the information necessary to be in the best health possible. I am especially pleased that he is a born-again believer as I am and that is another way in which Read more...
