Benjamin Neltner, MD

Dr. Neltner’s mission to serve is evident through his years of volunteering at various hospice centers and clinics in Kentucky and Virginia, where he provided complimentary medical care to uninsured and underinsured patients. His services included grief counseling and nursing assistance, as well as preventive care and chronic disease management. 

Dr. Neltner also boasts many leadership experiences, including serving as a primary care provider to refugees at the University of Virginia International Family Medicine Clinic. He is also a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Medical Association, and he is board-certified in family medicine. 

Now at CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group, Dr. Neltner is dedicated to providing primary care to the Lexington community through a “shared decision-making and research-based” philosophy. “The decisions I make are only a small aspect of a patient’s overall health,” said Dr. Neltner. “It really takes a relationship with each patient that is built on trust to make decisions together and to fully treat them.” Dr. Neltner says his decisions are driven by his devotion to evidence-based medicine “to ensure all medical decisions are based on the most current research guidelines.”
