Benjamin G. Newman, MD: The Village Doctor

Doctor Newman graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and did his postgraduate training at Abington Memorial Hospital, outside of Philadelphia. He is Board Certified in Family Medicine and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Practice. Dr. Newman is also a retired Navy Captain who cares deeply about veteran’s health issues. He has had three combat tours with the Navy and Marines, the last one was as the Senior Medical Officer in the USS Bataan which deployed to Afghanistan six hours after America was attacked in September 2001. Upon return Captain Newman assumed the duties of the Second Fleet Surgeon.

The Village Doctor is part of a movement in medicine towards patient-centered medical care. Dr. Newman works on building trusting relationships with patients. If needed, he works as a facilitator for patient care, coordinating with other medical providers who may treat the patient. This coordinated care treats the whole person and allows them to easily communicate with their doctor directly. Not only does this approach treat health complaints, but also helps prevent illness and injury through wellness education and chronic disease management. The Village Doctor also offers medical acupuncture and massage therapy. Dr. Newman proudly offers Pure Encapsulations products as he believes in the quality of the products and he uses them himself.
