Labs
~ Labs serve as a means to see the total picture of your physiological health. ~
At ASKDRSKIP.COM, PLLC, we strive to make your health care experience the best it can possibly be, restoring you to complete wellness with true integrative care. In order to do that, Dr. Skip, O.M.D., must have the proper tools available to properly determine the right course of action and the proper therapies to deploy. For this reason, Dr. Skip often requests that his patients undergo laboratory testing to get a more complete picture of a client’s health.
These functional labs might include any or all of the following:
See the linked pages for more information on any of the above testing.
Out of Pocket Lab Cost:
Lab prices are set so we are able to run ample tests affordably and cover operational costs of having the accounts, and Dr. Skip’s expertise in functional endocrinology to evaluate results, while not emptying your pockets unnecessarily or price gouging. This enables us to run expansive blood panels that get to the root of any heath issue as fast as possible. Please view our Services Page for details.
We do not want to dismiss anyone’s concern regarding the potential costs of laboratory testing. They can be costly and sometimes retests are necessary. But when there is something chronically wrong and the body is in a state of stress, Dr. Skip wants to leave no stone unturned in searching for the cause of the problem. We feel, and you may agree, that it is less costly in the long run to order a complete set of lab tests at the outset if this allows Dr. Skip to deploy proper therapies in a timely manner. Better to gather full data and attack the problem head-on, than to do piecemeal testing and throw darts, hoping the remedy will hit the target sooner rather than later.
With that said, the appointment option below is an extended appointment for you and Dr. Skip to discuss your full medical history and determine what testing may be done. This is often for complex issues that may be chronic in nature and have gone on for years. However, if what you are looking for is a more quality of life / palliative appointment we do that too.
