Jay Benson, D.O.

Dr. Jay Benson, D.O., the patient care director at Dr. Fuhrman's Medical Associates has success in treating diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and many others by using this unique nutritional approach. As a board certified family medicine physician, Dr. Jay Benson, D.O. has experience with the variety and complexity of problems that can present in a family medicine office, but also has the experience and ability to help his patients achieve health and wellness rather than merely treating the symptoms of their diseases.

Dr. Benson embraces Dr. Fuhrman's brand of nutritional excellence. He is well versed in modern high-tech medicine as well as the nutritional and natural methods utilized at Dr. Fuhrman's Medical Associates. He sees the majority of patients at the Flemington office and works side-by-side with Dr. Fuhrman on nutritional research, lecturing, and answering questions on Dr. Fuhrman's Ask the Doctor forums.

Dr. Benson has developed a core competency in the early detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease. He uses a unique combination of non-invasive testing methods to assess overall cardiovascular health. He combines a Carotid IMT (Intima Media Thickness) test, the most accurate noninvasive screening method available for predicting the risk of heart attack or stroke, along with an EndoTherm test, a simple finger sensor test sensitive enough to pick up early cardiovascular disease. Dr. Benson recommends these tests as a preferred non-invasive, more accurate alternative to a cardiac catheterization (coronary angiogram) or stress test. By using these testing methods together which involve no radiation, injections, or related risks, Dr. Benson is able to quickly and accurately predict one's risk of a heart attack or stroke. Contact the medical office to inquire about scheduling.
