What functional testing do you offer?

 

Not all patients require functional testing. The suitability of testing is discussed in your consultation and recommended only if I believe it will be beneficial to your treatment.

 

Test kits are sent out via post, the patient is to collect the sample (urine, stool, or hair) and post it back to the laboratory. Test results are sent directly to me, a follow-up consultation is required to discuss findings.
