What Is Specialty Testing?

Some health challenges hide beneath the surface, making them difficult to detect with standard lab panels. Specialty Testing takes a deeper look at areas such as chronic infections, environmental exposures, and cellular metabolism. These advanced tests may provide insights when traditional approaches leave questions unanswered.
