Pharmacogenetic Testing
Pharmacogenetic testing helps evaluate how an individual's genetics may influence response to certain psychiatric medications. Genetic testing is used alongside clinical evaluation and treatment history to help guide medication decisions and improve individualized care.
Pharmacogenetic testing is one input among many. Combined with your history, current symptoms, and goals, it can meaningfully refine prescribing for patients who have struggled with medication trials in the past.

Frequently asked
Pharmacogenetic Testing: questions we hear often.
Will testing tell me which medication will work?

Patients who have experienced side effects, not responded to prior medications, or want more personalized treatment planning may benefit from testing.
Is the test covered by insurance?
