Dr. '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''', {{MD}}, {{ABIHM}}, {{IFMCP}}, [[intactivist]], completed medical school at {{UNI|East Carolina University|ECU}} and family medicine residency at {{UNI|University of North Carolina|UNC}} Chapel Hill. She worked with a group practice in North Carolina for ten years prior to opening her own integrative medicine clinic, [https://www.bentonintegrative.com/ Benton Integrative Medical Center], in Huntersville, {{USSC|NC}}. Her practice combines functional medicine and herbal medicine in a holistic fashion.
Dr. Benton is a founding board member of the California-based [https://physiciansforinformedconsent.org/ Physicians for Informed Consent]. The principle of [[informed consent]] is a cornerstone of her practice. To obtain true informed consent, providers must fully disclose the risks and benefits of medical procedures. She believes informed consent is not being obtained for infant [[circumcision]], because parents with adequate information would not choose it. Dr. Benton works as part of the movement to protect children in the current medical climate.<ref>{{REFweb
