Genetic Medicine. Personalized. Clinically Interpreted.

Beyond the Genetic Test

Your DNA provides information.
Clinical expertise gives it meaning

Clinical and preventive genomics offers a powerful lens to understand predispositions, optimize treatments, diagnose complex conditions, and guide long-term health decisions. Its value, however, goes beyond sequencing DNA it lies in understanding why a test is needed, what the results mean, and how they inform medical care.

At David Medical, every evaluation begins with the patient’s clinical history, health concerns, family background, and goals. Tests are selected based on a clear clinical question, and each result is interpreted by a physician geneticist within its proper medical context ensuring precise, personalized, and actionable insight.

A physician-led process, not a test store

Every genomic decision starts with a medical conversation and ends with a clear plan for your care.

Pre-Testing Clinical Assessment

We thoroughly evaluate your medical history, family background, and personal health goals before considering any genomic test.

Clinical focusA physician-led medical process, not a direct-to-consumer store.

Targeted Genomic Selection

We select specific tests based on your exact clinical questions, avoiding generic or unnecessary panels.

Clinical focusMedical precision, intentionality, and a personalized diagnostic strategy.

Actionable Medical Interpretation

We translate raw genetic data into clear, actionable medical insights integrated directly into your ongoing care plan.

Clinical focusInterpretation is the true core value: clinical expertise gives it meaning.

What can genomic medicine
help you understand?

Genomic medicine is not simply about sequencing DNA. Its value lies in understanding why a test is being considered, what the results may mean, and how that information can be integrated into your medical care.

At David Medical, genomic evaluation begins with your clinical history, personal health concerns, family history, and medical goals. Testing is selected according to the clinical question, and results are interpreted within the appropriate medical context.

Understand Genetic Risk

Identify genetic factors that may contribute to inherited disease risk and better understand relevant family history.

Investigate Complex Conditions

Explore possible genetic contributors when symptoms are unexplained, complex, multisystemic, or difficult to connect through conventional evaluation.

Personalize Medical Care

Use clinically relevant genomic information to support certain diagnostic, preventive, or treatment decisions.

Plan With Greater Information

Integrate relevant genomic information into long-term health planning when appropriate for your personal and family history.

Choosing the Right Test in Genomic Medicine

In genomic medicine, not all tests are the same. The difference between gene panels, whole exome, and whole genome sequencing lies in how much of the DNA is analyzed and how precisely each test answers a specific clinical question.

Gene
Panels

These tests analyze a selected group of genes associated with a specific condition or set of symptoms. They are the most targeted option when there is a clear clinical suspicion, providing focused and efficient answers with less complexity.

Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)

This approach examines all coding regions of the DNA  the parts responsible for producing proteins. It is useful when a diagnosis is unclear or when multiple genes may be involved, offering a broader scope than targeted panels.

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)

This test analyzes the entire DNA sequence, including both coding and non-coding regions. It is the most comprehensive option, capable of identifying variants that other methods may miss, especially in complex or unresolved cases.

From Genetic Testing to Clinical Decisions

A genetic evaluation does not end with a result. Its true value lies in how that information is translated into clear clinical decisions.

1

Initial clinical consultation

Medical history, family background, and health goals are carefully reviewed.

2

Selection of the appropriate test

Testing is chosen based on the clinical question — not by scope, but by relevance.

3

Sample collection

Performed through blood or saliva, depending on the study.

4

Specialized medical interpretation

A physician geneticist evaluates the results within the patient’s clinical context.

5

Results review and management plan

Findings are translated into action: prevention strategies, diagnosis, treatment, or personalized follow-up.

At David Medical, every genetic result is a starting point, not an endpoint, for more precise, informed medical care.

Medical Genetic Counseling, Included

At David Medical, every clinical genetics evaluation includes a consultation with a medical geneticist and comprehensive pre- and post-test genetic counseling, ensuring you understand your testing options, results, and their implications for your health and family, with personalized, expert guidance at every step.

✔ Clear clinical purpose before testing

✔ Defined scope, benefits, and limitations

✔ Interpretation by a physician geneticist

✔ Results understood within your clinical history

✔ Translation into actionable medical decisions

Before testing, the indication, scope, and limitations are carefully defined. Afterward, findings are interpreted within your clinical context, allowing genetic information to be translated into precise, personalized, and actionable care.

Insurance Plans We Accept

If your insurance plan is not listed or if you have any questions regarding coverage, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We are here to assist you with benefit verification and confirm if your plan is accepted. We do offer affordable out-of-pocket prices and insurance should cover genetic testing if indicated.

Real Stories. Meaningful Transformations.

Beth
Dr. David is a master in her field. You will not be disappointed in her interest and care with your genetic challenges. She gives a lot of depth in her initial consultation. I look forward to having continued care with her.
Alexandria
She was amazing. After years of medical gaslighting and then some I found her and she connected dots I didn’t even know were related. I was thoroughly impressed AND she was kind and attentive. I will be continuing my care with her for the foreseeable future. Thank you!
Danielle
Dr. David is absolutely incredible, there were so many physical and neurological symptoms I struggled with as a child that had gotten worse as I reached adulthood, it is nice to finally be heard and seen and to have answers. One visit with her has absolutely changed my life and I am one more step closer to getting the care and medications I need to manage my autoimmune disease.

FAQ

Yes. Many genetic tests can be performed using a buccal (cheek) swab or saliva sample collected at home. Some studies may require blood or another sample.

When home collection is appropriate, the laboratory can generally ship the kit directly to you with collection and return instructions.

For some tests, particularly genome or exome sequencing, samples from biological relatives can significantly improve interpretation.

For example, testing a patient together with both biological parents is called trio testing and can help determine whether a genetic finding was inherited or occurred for the first time in the patient.

Family members participating only as comparators generally do not receive their own comprehensive genetic report.

Cost depends on the specific test, laboratory, and your insurance coverage.

Many laboratories offer insurance billing, self-pay options, or financial-assistance programs. Appropriate testing and laboratory options are discussed after your clinical evaluation.

David Medical works with multiple insurance plans. Coverage, referral requirements, and patient responsibility vary by plan and service.

Please contact our Patient Care Team to verify current participation or discuss self-pay options.
