The following doctors have joined Blessing Health:
Daniel Boeder, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist, has joined the Behavioral Center.
A graduate of Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, where he also completed residency, Dr. Boeder completed a fellowship in adolescent psychiatry at Memorial Medical Center, Springfield, Illinois.
“I had family members who needed mental healthcare and didn’t know where to go or who to see. I recognized the need,” Dr. Boeder said of his medical specialty. “Dealing with mental illness is a huge strain. I want to help as much as I can.”
He also holds a Master of Cytopathology Practice from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
Brian Anderson, MD, has joined the Department of Neurosurgery.
A graduate of Oregon Health and Science University, Dr. Anderson completed an internship, residency and two fellowships at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
He specializes in the implantation of neuromodulators. They are tiny computers that stimulate the central nervous system and assist in managing conditions ranging from pain to epilepsy and Parkinson’s Disease.
“I have seen spinal cord injury patients move fingers that they hadn’t been able to move. It’s about as close to miraculous as anything in medicine,” Dr. Anderson said of the benefits of neuromodulation.
Benny Seto, MD, hand and upper extremity surgeon, has joined the orthopedics and sports medicine team.
Certified by the American Board of Surgery, Dr. Seto earned his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in New York, and completed residency in general surgery and a hand surgery fellowship at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City.
“As a physician I can help people alleviate their suffering. As a surgeon, it is gratifying to use my own hands to make a difference in their conditions, to help them get back the use of their hands in their activities of daily living.”
