Gastroenterologists
As the healthcare paradigm continues to shift in the US, gastroenterology as a specialty is facing many of the same challenges and obstacles that the rest of the medical community is coming to grips with. As the delivery and reimbursement of health care become more value-based, invasive and expensive methods of diagnosis like colonoscopies and endoscopies are receiving lower reimbursements and increasingly substituted or supplemented with less costly and less invasive specialty diagnostics. At the same time, patient needs and expectations for comprehensive care, information and monitoring, and symptom management are increasing. One of the leading challenges for gastroenterologists today is setting themselves apart by creating value and delivering quality services to their patients in a timely and cost-efficient manner. We support your ability to provide complete, accurate, and thorough care for patients with gastrointestinal conditions, which distinguishes gastroenterologists from other physicians that provide some similar services.
Primary Care Physicians
As a primary care physician (PCP), you are the first line of medical defense for millions of patients entering the healthcare system with gastrointestinal ailments and symptoms of chronic stomach conditions. Your patients count on you to treat, manage, recommend steps to help them improve their health, and refer them to qualified specialists when appropriate. We appreciate the value of patient-centered medicine and a PCP’s role in helping patients get an early diagnosis leading to expedited therapy and better clinical outcomes. We are committed to empowering you with the most reliable, simplest, and highest quality diagnostic tools to help you identify some of the most common gastrointestinal disorders that patients may walk into your practice with.


Integrative Physicians, Naturopaths & Dietitians
Integrative physicians, naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs) receive extensive training in understanding the complexities and interrelations of digestive wellness and overall body health. The holistic approach to health, wellness, and nutrition strongly emphasize disease prevention. A central tenant of this approach is that good health starts with good digestion. Impaired nutrient absorption and energy creation can lead to a host of other issues down the road for patients. Our at-home diagnostic tests can help identify functional GI disorders including dietary sensitivities and help steer you and your patient’s approach to dietary modification, homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplementation, immune support, high-quality probiotics, and additional testing.
