GeneSight Testing

A cheek-swab test that gives your prescriber information about how your body processes psychiatric medications.

What the test tells us

GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test: it analyzes the genes involved in how your body metabolizes common psychiatric medications — for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. The result is a report your prescriber reads with you: which medications are likely to work as expected, which may need dosage adjustments, and which carry a higher chance of side effects for you specifically.

The test does not replace clinical judgment. Your provider weighs the report alongside your history, your symptoms, and your goals.

How it works

  1. 1

    Consult

    Testing starts with an initial consult with one of our medication providers.

  2. 2

    Swab

    A quick, painless cheek swab, done in the office or from home.

  3. 3

    Analysis

    The lab examines genes tied to medication metabolism and sends the report to your provider.

  4. 4

    Plan

    You and your provider review the results and discuss what they mean for your medication plan.
