Dr. Paul will order the necessary genetic test for you. The results will remain confidential and will not be shared with your hospital or provider’s medical records unless you provide written consent. A collection kit for DNA saliva, buccal swab, or dried blood spot will be sent to your preferred address. Once you collect your sample, you will return the kit to the genetics laboratory using a prepaid, overnight mail package. In certain cases or when additional metabolic genetic studies are needed, we will use only a dried blood spot sample, which can be returned in a similar prepaid envelope.

Dr. Paul will follow up with you to discuss the results and plan the next steps in your care. Typically, a follow-up appointment will be required.

Please note, the Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test is a one-time procedure as your DNA blueprint does not change. However, we can reanalyze your genomic data every 6 to 12 months or as needed.

Genetic tests are self-pay and must be paid in full prior to ordering, in addition to the consultation fee.
