Extensive health history
Body system and disease trigger questionnaires
Gathering and analysis of existing lab and diagnostic test results

We will schedule your in-person evaluations once you complete your intake process.

Individual Services

Each individual service has its own particular intake process. After you complete the questionnaire, we will contact you regarding scheduling and next steps.

We will provide you with the necessary paperwork leading up to or at your first appointment. In some situations we may request that you bring in past medical records.

The diagnostic portion of your Synapse patient journey is meant to provide further clarity about the root cause of your health concerns, as well as provide insight into the most appropriate treatments for you.
