Genetic Testing in The Hamptons

If you’re seeking genetic testing in The Hamptons, we offer a clinically focused approach that helps you understand how your genes affect your response to psychiatric medications.

With a simple cheek swab, we can gain crucial insight into your unique genomic profile and create a treatment plan that’s truly tailored to you.

Better science means better care. Let’s begin your journey toward feeling like yourself again.

What Is Genetic Testing?

Psychiatric genetic testing analyzes specific genes that influence how your body responds to psychiatric medications. This simple test (usually a cheek swab) helps us understand how you metabolize medications, which ones may work best, and which ones may cause side effects.

Why It Matters

  • Avoid Trial and Error: Reduce the guesswork in finding the right medication.
  • Minimize Side Effects: Understand which medications your body may not tolerate well.
  • Faster Relief: Find an effective treatment sooner, with fewer adjustments.

Conditions We Commonly Treat with Genetic Insights

  • Major Depressive Disorder
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • PTSD
  • ADHD

“It’s not just about finding a treatment — it’s about finding the right treatment for you.”
