What is Health Forward?
When you are ready to move your Health Forward, Dr. Laura Beaty offers comprehensive physical exams and testing that goes beyond routine bloodwork that allows us to understand you from the inside out. We use LabCorp for our basic laboratory tests and Dynamic DNA laboratories and Spectracell Labs for our advanced testing needs.
Get the most from your diet, exercise and skincare routine. Get the most out of your health assessments.
Have you ever asked why? Health Forward has the answer.
We are all aware that our bodies, though functionally similar, are individual intricate works of art. And despite our similarities one size does not fit all when it comes to healthcare.
Meet with Dr. Laura Beaty, our wellness expert, to further explore where advanced testing can positively impact your health.
How does Health Forward benefit me?
When we have an in depth look at your current health, you are more likely to make the necessary changes to improve your health. Dr. Laura Beaty goes beneath the surface to make recommendations that will make a lasting difference for your physical health and emotional well-being.
How is the Testing Administered?
We will meet with you for an in person assessment and a follow-up visit to review results and make recommendations. Tests are done by venipuncture (blood draw) or buccal mucosa swab and take approximately 14 business days to receive your comprehensive results. Once received, your results will be reviewed with you in detail with physician Dr. Laura Beaty. You will also be given a specific health care plan and recommendations for your health.
What kind of tests are available?
We offer several types of comprehensive physical examinations, laboratory and genetic testing, all which can be initiated in our office.
Comprehensive Physical Examinations
Our medical doctor, Laura Beaty MD, offers comprehensive physical examinations starting at $350. While you may have a primary care physician, sometimes it is invaluable to your health to have a wellness expert weigh in on what you can do to stay Health Forward.
She will meet with you to review your past medical history, health habits and any current medical concerns.
Testing for various concerns may be done with or without the comprehensive physical examinations, but all Health Forward visits require a follow-up visit with Dr. Laura Beaty to review your results.
