Why are suggested supplements being linked to me from multiple areas?

It is common to receive supplements from various sources for this reason.

The Doctor recommended some Lab work to be done. How do I go about starting this process?

How do I get my blood drawn if I am an out-of-state, or area patient? 

After you approve which recommended tests to move forward with, we will email you a link to input your zip code and find blood draw centers close to you. You will then need to call and set up an appointment. During that time, we will create a lab requisition for your specific testing. Once you have paid the invoice from the lab, a kit will be mailed to your home. Please bring this kit along with you to the blood draw appointment for the phlebotomist to accurately test you. *See following question for next steps. 

What do I do now that I’ve had my blood drawn out of the area? 

Give us a call to set up your follow-up appointment to go over the lab results. We are looking forward to you receiving your results!
