When genetic testing is indicated, Dr. Paul will order the test and a DNA saliva, buccal, or dried blood spot filter collection kit will be shipped to you. After collection, you will mail the kit with your sample back to the genetics laboratory in a prepaid package. In special circumstances or when additional metabolic genetic studies are indicated,  we will use instead only the dried blood spot sample which can be mailed in an envelope. 

Dr. Paul will contact you to discuss the results and coordinate the next steps in your care. Most of the time, a follow-up visit is required.

Your Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test is once in a lifetime. DNA blueprint does not change. Dr. Paul will analyze the commercial laboratory data. We can reanalyze your genome data file every 6-12 months or when indicated. 

Genetic tests are self-pay at ordering in addition to the consultation cost.
