If you have never visited a naturopathic doctor’s office, you may not be familiar with all of the services available. In addition to routine medical care, naturopathic doctors offer a variety of specialty services to ensure patients are optimally and holistically treated. Dr. Tellier has extensive training in a variety of medical conditions and is dedicated to treating each of her patients holistically – ensuring that any medical or health concerns and treatment protocols are approached with the goal of treating the root cause rather than masking symptoms. Sometimes, to get to the root of a problem it is necessary to get lab work and see what is going on inside the body. Diagnostic lab testing will provide an important piece of the puzzle when evaluating a patient’s comprehensive health status. Accurate lab testing can help determine a patient’s health status as well as any health deficiencies that may exist, making it a vital service.
Naturopathic General Lab Services
Dr. Tellier offers both general and specialty lab services to provide her patients with comprehensive healthcare. At Health for Life Naturopathic Medicine, patients enjoy the convenience of general lab testing services, right in our medical office. Rather than having to leave to go to a laboratory for testing, our patients can have blood, urine, stool, or saliva tested right in office, depending on what the patient’s individual medical needs are. Lab test needs may include complete blood counts, metabolic panels, thyroid testing, male and female hormones, pap tests and cultures, STI tests, and urine cultures. For patients that prefer to use their medical insurance, our general lab services are provided by Sonora Quest Laboratories and Labcorp so that routine diagnostic testing can be submitted through insurance. If a patient prefers not to use health insurance but rather, pay in cash, we provide discounted cash lab prices.
Naturopathic Specialty Lab Services
During your health examination, should we determine that you need specialty testing, we can also provide specialty lab services. These specialty lab services may include food allergy testing, heavy metal testing, micronutrient (vitamin/mineral/antioxidant levels) testing, adrenal function tests, neurotransmitter testing for mood/energy/sleep function, specialized stool cultures, and more. These lab services are available to all of our patients, from children to adults, right in the comfort of our office. Depending on your lab results, Dr. Tellier will be able to guide you on a path to better health that may include dietary changes, lifestyle changes, natural supplements, chiropractic services, homeopathy, acupuncture, and more.
