Lab Testing and Analysis
at Evoke 5
Our bodies are incredibly complex machines, and there is so much going on beyond
what we can see on the surface. At Evoke 5 Medical Center, we utilize a full range of
the latest, state-of-the-art lab testing to gain a detailed picture of what is going on with
your body at a cellular level. This information allows us to develop a fully individualized
plan to address your health concerns and reach your optimal health.
Lab Testing to Find Root Causes
Functional medicine goes beyond chasing and treating symptoms. We want to find and address the root causes of those
symptoms. Lab testing is one of the first tools we reach for as we work to understand your individual health concerns and
map out a plan for optimizing your health.
At our clinic, we offer convenient, cost-effective, in-office lab testing, with results in 10 to 14 days. We offer routine lab
panels as well as labs to help diagnose specific health concerns or gather information to help us create a plan to optimize
overall health and wellbeing.
Analyzing Your Lab Testing Results
While conducting the lab work is important, analyzing the test results is just as critical. After the lab report is returned, your
functional medicine doctor will review it carefully, then have an in-depth discussion with you to explain the results and what
they mean for your health. Together, you will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses
your concerns and moves you toward your wellness goals.
