Why Diagnos-Techs? Diagnos-Techs is the world leader in saliva-based hormone testing. Restoring patient health is our primary concern. Our convenient noninvasive tests have converted many physicians from standardized panels to precision diagnosis of illness. These tests have become powerful tools in evaluating a patient’s health, stress and related health problems, male/female hormone related complaints, and gastrointestinal diseases.
Convenience: Saliva testing for hormones offers the patient the convenience of collecting the specimen at home or at work and does not require a special trip to a doctor’s office or specimen collection center.
Quality: Compare the quality of testing that Diagnos-Techs offers to other laboratories. Established in 1987, Diagnos-Techs was the first laboratory in the United States to offer saliva-based hormone testing into routine clinical practice. Diagnos-Techs has a rigorous quality assurance program and is the only saliva-based testing facility to offer accreditation by the Joint Commission (an independent national quality assurance organization representing the American Medical Association, American Dental Association, American College of Physicians, American Society of Internal Medicine, American College of Surgeons, and the American Hospital Association). Diagnos-Techs also participates in the quality control programs of the American College of Pathologists, American Proficiency Institute, and the American Association of Bioanalysts. Diagnos-Techs is licensed in the state of Washington under the Federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) #50DO630141.
Service: Diagnos-Techs offers on-site professional consultation for questions regarding the interpretation of test results for our clinician clients. We perform testing daily and offer quick turn around of test results.
Value: While we stake our reputation on quality and service, Diagnos-Techs pricing is very competitive and is much less than the same tests offered by other laboratories. In addition, all supplies are included in the cost of the testing. Call to compare our pricing.
