Casey R. Benton, MD specializes in general cardiology and is board certified in cardiovascular disease, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiology.  He has a special interest in the management of valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure, and coronary artery disease.

Dr. Benton is the chief of cardiology at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital.

Dr. Benton became interested in medicine at a young age and focused his attention on cardiology beginning in medical school.  "In medical school I always considered the heart to be the most important organ. The more I learned about the things that could go wrong in the cardiovascular system, the more I knew I wanted to be a part of the solution."  His goal is to use his knowledge and experience to help educate his patients about their disease(s) and allow them to make informed decisions about their cardiovascular care.

Dr. Benton enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters, traveling, and trying new restaurants.  He is a loyal fan of the New York Yankees/Giants and played an integral role creating our company softball team in 2017.
