LAB WORK
While routine lab work is helpful, it’s not necessarily optimal.
Getting routine lab work provides a starting place. Sometimes it can be a challenge to obtain complete blood work via your family physician.
In order to keep healthcare costs under control, they are not able to order certain tests like Vitamin D or a full thyroid panel. This can be upsetting.
Although lab testing ordered by a Naturopathic Doctor is not covered by Provincial Health Care, it is usually very helpful to our patients because the results are reviewed for optimal health levels so that you can achieve your best level of wellness.
