Scarlet Benson, MD

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

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.

Really Great Doctor-A real Professional

from Charles A in FL • January 19, 2024
Image provided by: Charles A
I have been with MDVIP for probably more than 25 years now. My Original Doctor sold her practice to Dr Scarlet Benson and her partner/owner about 3 years ago. The transition was seamless as Dr Benson took no time to get to know and treat me. I am now 87 years old and proud to have her as my professional caretaker. She takes a real interest in me as I have become a little (or a lot) forgetful Read more...

My experience - congestive heart failure at Holy Cross and all alone.

from Richard in FL • January 19, 2024
I entered Holy Cross emergency room in June 2023 with congestive heart failure. I had no cardiologist doctor at that time and I was assigned Doctor Collado. ( I just began my relationship with MDVIP and Dr. Benson in January 2023.) I was pleased with his service and I shortly thereafter had a heart valve replacement. To make a long story short, Dr. Collado said to me while I was in the hospital Read more...
