Advanced Diagnostics
Advanced Diagnostics. Individualized Insights.
The right information matters more than more information.
Diagnostic tools may help answer specific clinical questions when they are selected thoughtfully and interpreted in the context of your history, symptoms, goals, and other findings.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Precision Guided by Clinical Judgment.
Advanced diagnostics can provide valuable information, but even the most sophisticated technology cannot replace comprehensive clinical evaluation and physician judgment.
Testing should answer meaningful questions, inform appropriate decisions, and serve your individual health priorities. Precision medicine does not mean performing every available test.
Diagnostic Categories
Insights for a More Complete Picture.
Depending on your clinical needs and goals, your personalized care plan may incorporate selected assessments from the following areas.
Advanced Biomarkers
Established and specialized testing
A deeper look at clinically relevant metabolic, cardiovascular, endocrine, nutritional, and other health markers, such as ApoB, lipoprotein(a), glucose regulation, and thyroid and hormonal testing.
Existing results from recognized laboratories and testing services can also be reviewed to help avoid unnecessary duplication.
Examples: Function Health · ApoB · Lp(a) · Hormones
Wearables & Metabolic Monitoring
For selected individuals
Continuous glucose monitoring can add context about glucose patterns and responses to nutrition, movement, and daily routines. Patient-provided data from devices such as Oura Ring or Apple Watch may add context about sleep, physical activity, resting heart rate, and recovery.
Wearable information supplements clinical assessment and does not constitute continuous medical monitoring.
Examples: Oura · Apple Watch · CGM
Precision Genomics
Optional and selectively considered
Selected genomic assessments, including options available from IntellxxDNA, may offer additional context about certain inherited risks, medication responses, and biological characteristics, considered alongside your personal and family medical history.
Genomic testing is optional. The clinical validity and usefulness of individual findings vary, and not every patient will benefit. Confirmatory testing or specialized genetic counseling may be recommended when indicated.
Examples: IntellxxDNA · Individualized DNA insights
Imaging & Longevity Assessments
When your history or specific questions justify it
Depending on clinical circumstances, assessments may include DEXA, VO₂ max testing, sleep studies, coronary artery calcium scoring, targeted diagnostic imaging, and individualized discussion of elective whole-body MRI services such as Prenuvo.
Whole-body MRI screening is not routinely recommended for every asymptomatic individual, and its potential benefits and limitations require careful consideration.
Examples: DEXA · Coronary calcium · Prenuvo MRI
Emerging Cancer Screening
Emerging technology, for selected patients
Blood-based multi-cancer early detection is an evolving area. For selected patients, Dr. Chinichian may discuss technologies such as Galleri, including current evidence, regulatory status, false-positive and false-negative results, and appropriate follow-up.
These tests do not replace established, guideline-recommended cancer screening.
Examples: Galleri · Multi-cancer early detection
From Testing to Action
Advanced Insights. Expertly Interpreted. Personally Applied.
Select Thoughtfully
We consider your history, clinical findings, individual risks, and goals before recommending additional testing.
Interpret in Context
Results are considered alongside your complete clinical picture, not as isolated numbers, genetic variants, or device measurements.
Apply Personally
Clinically relevant insights are incorporated into your individualized health strategy, with appropriate follow-up and reassessment.
Important Considerations
Not Every Test Belongs in Every Care Plan.
- Advanced diagnostics are optional and considered according to individual clinical needs. They are not required to join a program.
- Before recommending additional evaluation, we consider the strength of available evidence, individual risks, potential benefits, test limitations, costs, and possible downstream investigations.
- Results can be inconclusive or lead to further evaluation and follow-up, and not every finding changes a care plan.
- Some emerging or consumer-facing technologies have limited evidence for routine clinical use.
- TrendyMD Precision Medicine does not provide laboratory testing. Testing, imaging, genomic assessments, devices, and other outside services are arranged through outside providers, billed separately, and not automatically included in any program.
- References to external laboratories, imaging centers, health technologies, and diagnostic companies are examples only and do not imply formal partnerships or integrated services.
- TrendyMD Precision Medicine complements, rather than replaces, primary care and does not provide urgent or emergency services.
Go Beyond the Data
Advanced information is only one part of personalized medicine.
Experience a physician-led approach that brings together comprehensive evaluation, thoughtful diagnostics, and individualized care.
