About Jacques Benun, MD, FAAP

  • Dr. Benun only sees patients at ARC clinics as needed.

    Dr. Benun was born in Montreal, Canada, and grew up in Venezuela before coming to the United States for his medical training. When he is not at work, Dr. Benun loves to run, and trains for half-and-full marathons. He can always be found at Lady Bird Lake, one of his favorite local spots, or on other trails!

I was inspired to be a doctor when, at 6 years old, I had a routine surgery, and the doctors who took care of me made a strong impression on me. I love working with children, and I believe that “less is better.” I focus on educating parents about how to take care of their children’s health.

    Surprised that Dr. Benun was in Pflugerville. He cared for my children when we lived in Manor. They absolutely loved him. He always has a smile on his face and listens to our concerns. If he were at Kelly lane we would request a change in PCP. Thank you for seeing my new addition to the family.

    I really trust Dr. BENUN. Thank you for responding quickly and taking care of my son.

    Front desk staff was warm and inviting, very friendly and attentive. The nurse was very patient with my daughter and handled the vaccines like a pro-very fast and had 3 stickers ready to go for her as a reward. Dr. Benun was very compassionate, thorough, made both my daughter and I laugh. Made sure we didn’t have any questions, not just me as a parent but my 4 year old as well! I would recommend Dr. Benun and all of ARC Pflugerville to any parent/patient needing care. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable!
