Dr. Susan Beaton graduated from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry in 1991. She started her career in Woodstock, Ontario, where she spent three years providing full-scope eye care. In 1993, she moved back to the area and ran her own practice in downtown Kitchener for over 15 years.
For the past three years, Dr. Beaton has worked as a clinical instructor at the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry, where she enjoys mentoring and teaching future optometrists. Besides her practice, Dr. Beaton had the unique experience of serving as an on-set optometrist during the filming of Defiance, a science fiction mini-series filmed in Toronto.
Patients recognize Dr. Beaton for her compassionate and thorough care, as she always gives them the attention they need. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, running, cross-country skiing, and relaxing with her Golden Retrievers
