Pharmacogenetic Testing

We offer pharmacogenetic testing to better understand how your body may respond to certain medications. This information helps guide safer, more personalized prescribing and reduces the trial-and-error often associated with finding the right treatment.

Who is pharmacogenetic testing for, and how is it done?

Pharmacogenetic testing is helpful for patients who have struggled with side effects, difficulty finding the right medication, or want to take a more personalized approach to treatment. The test is simple — usually a cheek swab or saliva sample — and looks at how your genes may influence your body’s response to certain medications.

Can pharmacogenetic testing improve my treatment outcomes?

While no test can guarantee perfect results, pharmacogenetic testing can reduce trial-and-error in prescribing. It gives your provider valuable information that may guide safer, more effective medication choices tailored to your unique biology.

Is pharmacogenetic testing covered by insurance?

Coverage varies. Some insurance plans may cover pharmacogenetic testing if it is deemed medically necessary, while others may not. We will review your options in advance and discuss any out-of-pocket costs so you can make an informed decision.

Medication Deprescribing

We provide careful, guided support for patients who wish to safely taper off psychiatric medications. Using a step-by-step approach, combined with lifestyle strategies and functional support, we help reduce withdrawal risks and restore confidence in your natural mental wellness. Parts of this program are not covered by insurance.
