Specialty Lab Services.

The hallmark of an integrative approach to health care is the determination to identify root causes of illness and seek treatments that go beyond symptom relief.  This requires a sophisticated array of tests for blood, urine and other sampling that can provide the diagnostic capacity to "drill down" and evaluate multiple factors simultaneously. Dr. Rind makes a wide array of national lab testing available, and provide numerous specialty blood, urine and other kits, with skilled phlebotomists available to draw, prepare and ship specimens to the numerous labs our practitioners utilize. Additionally, the Center for Health and Healing has a certified phlebotomist on staff to offer patients the convenience of having a LabCorp and specialty labs done here in the office.

ALLERGY TESTS.

Are foods making you sick, tired or fatigued? Allergy tests can identify your sensitivities to foods and additives that may trigger potentially harmful immune reactions.

HORMONE TESTS.

Cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones are some of the key hormones that regulate our physiology and behavior. Specialty labs can identify specific levels of hormones using blood, urine and saliva.

NUTRITIONAL TESTS.

Dr. Rind works with many different laboratories to identify metabolic imbalances that may contribute to underlying chronic conditions. Testing may include core nutrients, antioxidants, B vitamins, digestive support, essential fatty acids, amino acids and minerals. Numerous tests are also available for celiac and gluten sensitivities.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE.

Dr. Rind works with laboratories that perform state-of-the-art clinical and research testing for Lyme Disease and co-infections or associated tick-borne diseases, among other infectious agents.

TOXINS.

We can become sick after acute or chronic exposure to toxins in our food, homes, outdoors and/or in the personal products we use. Mold, heavy metals (such as mercury) and air pollution are but a few toxins that can make us sick, or prevent us from healing. Dr. Rind offers blood testing to identify a multitude of possible toxins.

CANCER.

Dr. Rind works with specialty cancer laboratories that perform some of the newest testing for cancer markers (monitoring) along with cancer diagnostic testing.
