Benjamin O. Pate, MD

Benjamin Pate, MD, is a pediatric anesthesiologist specializing in pain management. Dr. Pate believes treating pain requires an individual approach. Therefore, he takes time to understand each child, evaluating their symptoms, along with their emotional and developmental needs.

Dr. Pate's love for science and taking care of people made a career in medicine a natural choice. Wanting to make a difference for his young patients dealing with pain led him to his specialty. As a parent himself, Dr. Pate can empathize with what patients and their parents are going through. "It gives me great joy to help alleviate pain and bring smiles to my patients," Dr. Pate says.

As a native of the Valley, joining the Phoenix Children's team allowed Dr. Pate to return home and work at a major pediatric hospital.

When he's not working, Dr. Pate enjoys spending time with his family and being outdoors hiking, biking and skiing. He also enjoys traveling and photography.
