The same medicine can impact different people in different ways. Our team can help you better understand the way medications interact with your body. Through this process, we can help you and your provider develop a treatment plan that is right for you based on the way your body interacts with medicines. Pharmacogenomics plays an important part in the treatment of serious health conditions such as:

• Behavioral Health
• Pain Management
• Cancer Treatment
• Cardiac Conditions

Appointment Overview

Pharmacogenomic testing consists of two appointments. At your first appointment, we will discuss the testing process and collect a DNA sample via cheek swab. During your second appointment, you will meet with the the team to review your results and discuss how different medications may react with your system.

Talk to your provider to see if pharmacogenomic testing is right for you.
