Preventative care

Washington, DC

Preventative care is proactive care.

People often treat their health in a reactive way. They wait for symptoms to arise or a condition to become unbearable before seeking medical support. Preventative care, however, is proactive. Instead of sitting and waiting to get sick, you adopt habits that make sickness or illness less likely. Instead of reacting to symptoms and only tending to health crises when they occur, preventative care helps prevent them from emerging in the first place. 

Dr. Beaton offers physical exams, health screenings, and lifestyle recommendations to keep disease at bay. Preventative care also means any complications or concerning symptoms can be caught early, when they’re most likely to be treatable and prevent serious implications for your health.
