"My husband and I are beyond happy with Dr. Lawson and her team. She is an absolute amazing doctor and a wonderful human being. We have been on Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for many years, and it has saved our lives."
Dr. Lawson is the founder and medical director of Proactive Wellness Centers, PLC (PWC) of Vienna, Virginia. Founded in 2006, PWC is one of the leading integrative and functional medicine specialty practices in the metropolitan DC area serving patients from Northern Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC and many who travel 1000s of miles. She is one of the elite Bredesen Certified practitioners under the new ReCode 2.0 protocol.
The practice reflects her passion to bring an integrative approach to patient care that merges the latest in scientifically-validated treatment protocols with the best of conventional medical therapies.
Dr. Lawson spent the first 20 years of her career practicing “traditional” medicine, focused on medication and surgical interventions. Not satisfied this was the optimal approach to patient care, she left to start Proactive Wellness Centers as a practice that specializes in treating men and women with bioidentical hormone replacement, weight management, CIRS/Mold illness, Lyme disease, Mast Cell Activation Disorder and parasitic infections.
Across all modalities, Dr. Lawson uses a functional approach to treating and preventing chronic disease, and therapies to reverse the symptoms of aging and enhance overall wellness and longevity.
