Pharmacogenetic Testing
Finding the right psychiatric medication can sometimes involve trial and error, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. To help streamline this process, I offer pharmacogenetic testing through Genesight, a leading provider of personalized genetic testing for mental health treatment.
Pharmacogenetic testing analyzes how your genetic makeup may influence your body's response to different psychiatric medications. This information can be used to help select medications that are more likely to work well for you—and to avoid those that may cause more side effects.
The testing process is simple and convenient. Genesight will mail a kit directly to your home, where you can easily complete a non-invasive oral swab. After sending the sample back, I review the results with you and use the information to guide treatment decisions. Pharmacogenetic testing is a valuable tool in creating more personalized, effective, and patient-centered care.
