About
Dr. Cammy Benton earned her medical degree from Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University in 2000. She completed a Transitional Year residency in Baltimore, then trained in Family Medicine at UNC Chapel Hill, finishing her residency in 2004. She chose a transitional year first because she believed Family Medicine deserved four years of training. That conviction about thoroughness has shaped her entire career.
After years in a group practice, Dr. Benton pursued a deeper approach to medicine. She earned her Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner credential in 2016 and holds board certification through the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine. She also trained in Ayurveda at the Chopra Center. Dr. Benton is passionate about root-cause illness, hormone health, and integrative primary care. She hosts regular educational events and member Q&A sessions for her patients. Outside the practice, she has championed community health initiatives including efforts to establish an integrative hospital through Compass Integrative Health and community gatherings at Latta Plantation Nature Preserve.
