Generally, we think only our doctor knows what is best for us and the tests he chooses to do are just what we need. But for those who feel their doctor is not doing enough for them, they have another option. They can take control of their health and have any test they want done to give them peace of mind.
Anyone can do a search online for testing centers where they can choose from the long list of offered blood or saliva tests. You can have a test done for arthritis, for thyroid, for HIV or a liver test and these are just a few to mention. Wellness panels are also available as are tests for STD, herpes, hepatitis and PSA.
The results of your test will not go to your doctor but straight to your inbox where only you will see it. If you are looking for privacy, then this is the best way to do it. You choose your test, you choose the lab to visit for blood to be drawn and you get your results. If you choose to share this information with your doctor later, that too is your choice which puts you in control of your health.
