Specialty Lab Testing

What are specialty lab tests?

Specialty tests are not usually part of standard lab testing.

Specialty lab testing includes testing for:

• food sensitivities
• stool testing (bacteria, parasites, fungal, worms, and more)
• salivary hormone levels
• toxin testing
• heavy metal testing
• detailed cardiovascular testing
• detailed nutrient testing such as amino acids, vitamins and more!

Does this describe you?

Do you feel that your labs look normal and still have symptoms but cannot find out why? Are you tired of having just basic labs drawn that do not give you the big picture?

Do you want to have a comprehensive analysis of your health and are unsure how to do that?

What to expect when booking a specialty lab test with us

After your first appointment, the doctor will order the necessary lab work for your condition. In addition to this, the doctor will make recommendations for specific specialty testing, depending on your circumstances.

The specialty test kits will usually be provided after your visit if you have an in-person visit. If you have a telemedicine or phone consultation, the test kits can be shipped to you.

The testing kit(s) come with instructions on how to complete and shipping information on how to send it back to the company. After you submit this, the doctor will be notified when your results are ready, and then you can schedule a follow-up appointment to review them.

You can book a follow-up appointment in your patient portal or by calling us to schedule you.
