GeneSight Genetic Testing
A simple cheek swab to personalize your psychiatric medication and get to relief faster.
Overview
What GeneSight Genetic Testing looks like.
Starting medication can be scary, and it's normal to worry about side effects or whether you're on the right one. Genetic testing helps get you closer to the right answer, sooner.
Ally Psych uses GeneSight testing for clients seeking psychiatric medication. A simple cheek swab identifies how your body metabolizes different drugs, so we can choose medications and doses tailored to your unique genetic profile.
