E. Benita Varnado, MD

Dr. V, as she is affectionately known, is E. Benita Varnado, MD. She is a

wife, mother, daughter, sister, ob/GYN, and a child of God. She is on

assignment and her assignment is you-helping you to become and remain

happy and healthy.

Growing up in High Point, North Carolina, she was the youngest of three

(with two knucklehead brothers) and the daughter of two accomplished

medical professionals. Both of her parents were first-generation college

graduates from rural eastern North Carolina. As a dentist and registered

nurse, they would go on to run a dental practice that served the

community. 

Benita, as she is known by her family and friends, attributes

her desire to be a health care provider to her parents and the times she “worked”

in the office, they instilled in her the importance of education and hard

work.  From an early age, she learned she could be the one to help people

who are in need and hurting.

She would later go on to become a medical doctor by way of Hampton

University, a historically black college in Hampton, Virginia, where she

earned a BS in Biological Sciences with Honors and The Brody School of

Medicine at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. Tulane

University in New Orleans, Louisiana is where she completed a 4 year

Obstetrics and Gynecology residency.

In addition to medicine, Dr. V is active in the community. She has been the

lead physician with the Greensboro group of Walk with a Doc, and has been a

board member of a local charter school for several years. She also is active in

her church’s Health and Wholeness ministry and she speaks to local

organizations whenever she is asked.

While providing educational information and motivation, Dr. V hopes to help

those who listen to reach their health goals. She hopes to share the

benefits of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, sleep, connection) on medical

diseases and overall wellness and health. Being a guide to help people

heal themselves is her mission.
