Anastasia Benson, MD

Dallas
I was raised in the Dallas suburb of Prosper with my four siblings and countless animals. After graduating high school, I attended Southwestern University in Georgetown where I received a BA in Psychology followed by a Masters in Health Psychology from Texas State University. I then moved to Arizona to attend Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine but returned to my roots in Dallas where I completed my Family Medicine residency at Methodist Charlton.
My frustration with our current system, both as a physician and as a patient, has made it a no-brainer to take this leap – and even my non-medical husband agrees. The system is broken. I could get on my soapbox, but we all know the problems. Paradigm Family Health was founded to simplify healthcare and eliminate the bureauracy.
I entered medical school with the vision of serving my community with affordable and high-quality healthcare. The direct primary care model is a membership-based model that helps decrease overall costs and passes the savings on to the patient. All it takes is one abscess, one laceration, one ankle sprain, one Montezuma’s revenge needing an IV, one illness while you’re away on vacation, or one chronic disease and you can have hundreds if not thousands in healthcare bills. That’s where I come in.
