Pharmacogenetic Testing

The right medication, sooner

A simple, painless cheek swab shows how your body processes psychiatric medications — so we can skip much of the trial-and-error.

What it is

A smarter starting point for medication

Everyone’s body processes medication a little differently. Pharmacogenetic testing looks at the genes that influence how you metabolize common psychiatric medications — the same prescription can work beautifully for one person and cause side effects for another, and your genes are part of the reason.

With those insights in hand, Aimee can make more confident choices from the very first prescription — often meaning fewer switches, gentler starts, and less time spent waiting to feel like yourself.

Good to know: testing is a guide, not a guarantee. It informs Aimee’s clinical judgment — it never replaces the conversation about how you’re actually feeling.
