GeneSight & Lab Testing
Personalized psychiatric care backed by science. We offer GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing and clinical lab monitoring to help guide safer, more precise treatment decisions.
Available via telehealth to patients throughout California and Nevada.
GeneSight Pharmacogenomic (PGx) Testing
GeneSight is a simple cheek-swab test that analyzes how your genes may affect your response to psychiatric medications commonly used for depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and other conditions. Results help inform prescribing so we can reduce trial-and-error and get you feeling better, faster.
The kit is mailed to your home, and the sample is returned by prepaid mail — no in-office visit required. Results are reviewed together in a telehealth follow-up.
When it may be helpful
- You've tried multiple psychiatric medications with limited benefit or difficult side effects
- You're starting a new medication and want additional data to guide the choice
- You have a family history of medication sensitivities
- You'd like a more personalized, science-informed treatment plan

Lab orders can be sent electronically to Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, or a local lab near you.
