Advanced Testing is Only Helpful if It’s Understood.
At Philadelphia Integrative Medicine, we go beyond ordering labs—we help you make sense of them. Our team expertly interprets advanced tests to uncover what’s driving your symptoms and how to treat it, step by step.
What Is Specialty Testing?
Specialty testing looks deeper than standard blood work. These labs assess function—not just disease—and often include:
- Gut microbiome analysis (e.g. GI-MAP, Genova Diagnostics)
- Hormone and adrenal testing (e.g. DUTCH, saliva, urine)
- Mold, mycotoxin, or heavy metal exposure
- Food sensitivity & immune response (e.g. IgG/IgA panels)
- Nutrient absorption, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress
- Autoimmune, Lyme, and stealth infections
- Genetic panels (MTHFR, detox pathways)
- These are powerful tools—but only when interpreted correctly.
Benefits of Our Interpretation Model
- Deeper insights than conventional testing alone
- Personalized—not one-size-fits-all—plans
- Data-driven progress tracking
- Case review by multiple trained eyes (collaborative model)
- Education for empowered self-care
Why Most Practices Miss the Mark
- Many clinics offer “testing,” but leave patients confused or unsupported. At PIM:
- We use tests to guide—not overwhelm—your treatment
- We combine data with deep clinical context
- We co-create a plan, never a protocol
- We explain results in plain English (and welcome your questions)

How We Stand Out
Why PIM is Different
Collaborative Team Care
We meet as clinicians to review and refine treatment strategies.
Extensively Trained Providers
All team members are board-certified and integrative/functional medicine trained.
Expert Interpretation of Labs
Many order labs. Few know how to interpret them. We do it right.
Time to Listen
Sessions range from 60–90 minutes because real care takes time.
The Integrative Medicine Team
Meet the Expert Providers Behind Your Care
At PIM, you don’t just see a single provider — you gain access to a team of integrative experts who work closely together on your care. We meet regularly to review cases, share insights, and ensure every patient benefits from the collective knowledge of our providers.
