Specialized testing

In the office we use many tests offered by traditional reference labs which may be readily covered by your insurance plans (eg. Quest, Labcorp, BioReference). Beyond this, we offer a variety of specialized tests that are typically limited to holistic or integrative office use. Many of these tests are listed below, with the labs we are currently using to perform each test listed in parentheses after the test.

Brief descriptions of each of these tests, including information that will be helpful in determining if these tests are covered by your insurance, may be viewed by clicking on the individual links to our test information and consent forms in the “downloadable forms” section. Additional extensive information is also available through links to the websites of each of the laboratories offering these tests.
