Data-Driven, Personalized Medicine

P Pharmacogenetic testing (PGx) is a revolutionary step in personalized medicine. Through a simple, non-invasive test, we partner with industry-leading labs like Tempus to analyze key genes that influence how your body may respond to certain psychiatric medications. This scientific insight provides your psychiatrist with a valuable tool to inform treatment decisions.

Reducing Trial-and-Error in Your Treatment

For many, finding the right medication involves a frustrating process of trial-and-error. PGx testing helps reduce this uncertainty. By understanding your unique genetic profile, we can more effectively select medications that are likely to work better for you, potentially minimizing side effects and helping you find relief faster.

The Pharmacogenetic Testing Process

  • Consultation & Sample Collection

    A simple consultation with your psychiatrist to determine if PGx is right for you, followed by a quick and painless sample collection in our clinic.

  • Analysis by Tempus

    Your sample is securely sent to our trusted partner, Tempus, a leader in precision medicine. Their specialized lab performs advanced genetic analysis to identify how you may process specific medications.

  • Review Your Results

    We schedule a follow-up appointment to review the comprehensive Tempus report together, explaining the results and how we will use them to create your care plan.
