Get to know Internist Dr. Benito Calderon, who serves patients in Nevada.

Having been practicing in Las Vegas, Nevada for over two decades, Dr. Calderon is the Founder & Medical Director of Calderon Medical Group. As a board-certified internist, he believes medical care is a partnership between individuals and himself, the provider.

A key aspect of this relationship are the reasons that families seek treatment and trust him and his team to provide care. In his practice, he strives to offer clinical and lifestyle perspectives. Assessments include careful considerations of social relationships, fluctuating mental states, family, lifestyle, socio-economic and cultural factors. As a team, the philosophy is to ask: are we providing the same care we would want our loved ones to receive? They recognize the value of the partnership and individuals having a choice to make an informed decision about their health. A strong desire to help others is why Dr. Calderon chose to become a physician. 

Upon embarking on his medical journey, he graduated with his medical degree from De La Salle University College of Medicine. He then went on to perform his residency in internal medicine with Forum Health – Western Reserve Care System. 

Specializing in preventive medicine, Dr. Calderon is board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

To meet the criteria, Dr. Calderon demonstrated improvement by an absolute 15 percent on at least three clinical quality and/or patient experience measures for outpatient primary care or pediatric practices during the last two years.
