AdventHealth has announced the addition of Dr. Micah DeBenedetto, DO, to its team at AdventHealth Medical Group Multispecialty at South Asheville. Dr. DeBenedetto is board-certified in internal medicine and will serve patients in the South Asheville area.
Dr. DeBenedetto completed his medical degree at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Pennsylvania. He then finished his internal medicine residency with a primary care focus at Prisma Health/University of South Carolina School of Medicine Columbia.
His approach to care centers on whole-person and osteopathic medicine, focusing on the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Dr. DeBenedetto aims to help patients understand their health conditions and make informed decisions about their care.
“My overarching goal as a primary care physician is to help my patients find health,” Dr. DeBenedetto explains. “I believe that establishing a strong, trusting physician-customer relationship is fundamental to effective care. It is a profound honor when my patients express that they feel genuinely heard and supported, and that I have navigated them through their health journey with empathy and wholistic understanding.”
As an internal medicine physician, he manages complex adult conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory disorders. He also coordinates treatment plans with specialists and offers preventative care along with osteopathic manipulative treatment for musculoskeletal issues.
Dr. DeBenedetto expressed enthusiasm about joining the local community: “I can’t wait to call the Blue Ridge Mountains, the French Broad River Valley, the Henderson County apple orchards, and beyond, my new home!”
He is married with a two-year-old daughter and enjoys reading, writing screenplays and children’s books, as well as outdoor activities with his family.
