Amanda Benedict takes a holistic approach to health care in her treatment of adult and pediatric patients. She values a patient’s input and emotional wellbeing and works to develop a plan of care that incorporates a focus on prevention and wellness, including nutrition and lifestyle. Amanda graduated from Anderson University in South Carolina with an undergrad in sports medicine and physical education. Amanda is a Certified Athletic Trainer and
enjoys working with athletes. She then received her master’s degree in Physician Assistant studies at the University of Colorado, with specialization in Pediatrics. Amanda chose to study in the rural track to gain as much experience in a wide variety of conditions for all ages. After graduating, Amanda worked in pediatrics for 7 years and has been in family practice for the last 7 years. Amanda’s goal is to see patients as a whole person and wants to support patients in the areas in which they would like to grow.
You can generally find Amanda with her friends or family, spending time outdoors or reading a good book. She credits her successes today to the support of her friends and family, so spending time with those people is vital to her. Being outside is one of the most life-giving activities for her and the sport changes with the season – skiing, mountain biking, playing ultimate frisbee or camping. Sharing these passions with her son is also one of her greatest joys.
Because she loves to play and get outside, it’s important to her that she makes the daily choices that will allow her to do those things. She focuses on the simple actions within her control – sleep, nutrition, stress relief and counseling – which helps her stay active and well balanced. She tends to get
injured from time to time with the activities she does, so she is also a big fan of physical therapy.
