Lab Testing
A good health history intake and complaint-oriented physical exam in the initial visit provides the majority of information Dr. Odette needs to assess your health. But sometimes additional information about what is going on inside your body is necessary to ensure the proper diagnosis and so the most effective treatment plan can be created for you.
The lab tests that Dr. Odette may recommend for you can be categorized as follows:
- Blood tests: including tests to assess fertility, hormone health, cardiovascular health and diabetes
- Salivary hormone tests
- Urinary & stool tests
