Pharmacogenomic DNA testing is a specialized laboratory test that utilizes a saliva sample, collected via a cheek swab, to identify the most suitable and effective medications for a patient based on their genetic profile. DreamCloud is a designated preferred provider for GeneSight, a test developed by the Mayo Clinic.

This testing is available to all our patients. The collection kit can be shipped to your home via FedEx. We do not charge an additional fee for the test; however, your insurance may charge a co-pay up to $330. The laboratory will inform you of your exact insurance copay before processing your results.
