I believe in providing patients and their families all the available and the needed information to facilitate making the right choice for each individual situation. Taking the time to carefully explain the findings and thoroughly review the available options is important so that a truly informed decision can be made by the patient and their support network. Through careful listening during an honest conversation that allows thoughts to be voiced, feelings to be expressed, and questions to be answered, a relationship built on trust and open communication is established that benefits everyone.

Biography
Bryan S. Benn, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Interventional Pulmonologist at the Medical College of Wisconsin for the Froedtert & MCW health network. Originally from the East Coast, Dr. Benn majored in biology and English at The Johns Hopkins University, graduating with general honors. He then attended New Jersey Medical School, where he completed his MD and PhD degrees, focusing on the role of vitamin D in regulating intestinal calcium absorption and renal calcium reabsorption. His work was supported by a pre-doctoral National Institutes of Health fellowship and led to multiple publications in peer reviewed journals.
After graduation, Dr. Benn attended Thomas Jefferson University for his internship and residency in internal medicine. He completed fellowships in pulmonary, critical care medicine, and interventional pulmonology at the University of California, San Francisco. His clinical and research interests focus on the various aspects of both diagnostic and therapeutic interventional pulmonology procedures and their impact on patient care.
