Genesight Testing
GeneSight testing helps find the best medications for you by looking at your genes. It tells us how you might respond to different medicines, especially for mental health issues.
How it works
GeneSight testing involves collecting a simple saliva or blood sample to analyze how your genes affect your response to medications. The results are compiled into a report that helps your healthcare provider choose the most effective and safest medications for you, reducing the trial-and-error process and minimizing potential side effects.
This personalized approach ensures that your treatment is tailored to your unique genetic makeup.
