Lab Evaluation
Dr. Strobel and her staff perform a variety of routine, complex and hormonal lab evaluations in the office. The exact labs drawn depend upon what labs a patient has already had done recently as well as his/her symptoms and medical conditions.
​
Most of the labs are interpreted with those symptoms in mind so the lab's "normal range" are often not considered "optimal". We urge our patients to schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss lab results and to work with the provider to formulate a plan of care. This plan often will involve patient participation with dietary and lifestyle changes as well as possible recommendation of vitamins and/or supplements.
In our experience, motivated patients who follow the plan of care, including the dietary recommendations as well as any prescription or over-the-counter medications, have significantly better results than those patients who do not.
