At the offices of Dr. Christopher Calapai, located in Garden City and Plainview, NY, we offer blood testing to provide our patients with insight into their bodies and overall health. This testing process also incorporates hormone testing and mineral testing, and after gathering the necessary data, we’ll receive results that provide us with a baseline so that we can move forward with the treatment plan that helps address your symptoms, correct deficiencies, and improve your health and quality of life.
What Is Blood Testing?
Blood testing is a simple process that can help diagnose any illnesses you’re dealing with that are currently unknown to you, determine the root cause of certain negative health symptoms, and provide useful information to help you better monitor and support your health. This testing process can meet the needs of patients with significant health issues and those who simply want to take steps to invest in overall health and well-being.
The blood testing process includes CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, liver function, cardiac markers, and cholesterol markers, including the breakdown of the three different types of HDL and LDL.
