At Sprout, we offer a variety of testing to better diagnose, monitor, and treat your concerns. Our practitioners will carefully choose and recommend the most appropriate lab tests pertinent to your specific case.
For any test requiring a blood sample, your practitioner will provide you with a requisition which you will then take to an external lab. Your results will be sent directly to your practitioner for review. Other tests may be performed at home with a testing kit and then are shipped to the appropriate laboratory with prepaid postage. These tests may include samples such as saliva or urine.
Below is a list of some of the tests available through Sprout Wellness Clinic. For more details, please book an appointment with Dr. Chanel Cressman, ND or Andrea Hauser, Hom.
