Precision Medicine Information

I am excited about this week’s Precision Medicine sessions. We have one session on Thursday evening and also Saturday morning.

If you are interested there are still some seats available, and you can sign up here.

We will be talking about the science behind the growth of Precision Genomic Medicine, and will be discussing the various genetic tests that are on the market. I will be giving away a Pharmacogenetic Test and some copies of a Precision Medicine book.

I am so excited about the program that I wanted to open it up to former patients as well, for a limited time. So we are offering special test pricing through 7/31/2019. After that, I will be limiting the tests to patients established in my practice.

I came across an good book on the subject of Precision Medicine, The Personalized Medicine Revolution: How Diagnosing and Treating Disease Are About to Change Forever. The book talks about how genetic techniques are changing the practice of medicine and your health in a revolutionary way. I will have a few copies at the information sessions, and if you are interested in a free copy I can order one for you.

Sign up here to attend.

 

Precision Medicine Press Announcement

AUSTIN, Texas /PRNewswire/ — Recently transitioning from a traditional medical practice model to a concierge practice approach, Dr. Roxana Rhodes continues to redefine customized personal health care. One of the first practices in the region to offer Precision Medicine, Dr. Rhodes’ Partners in Health integrates this new medical approach to provide comprehensive personalized care for each patient’s unique genetics, environment and lifestyle.

As science and technology evolve, and more conclusive studies emerge in support of Precision Medicine, even more patients are able to afford and benefit from incorporating genetic testing into their general health care.

“There are trillions of cells in our bodies that are defined by 3.2 billion DNA pairs, making each one of us truly unique, so we shouldn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to our health care,” said Dr. Rhodes. “With Precision Medicine, we are now able to use advanced, scientifically-proven sequencing techniques that provide clear personalized results with actionable information.”

Precision Medicine Information Sessions

We are launching our Precision Genomic Medicine program in May!

Precision Medicine is a new medical approach where doctors tailor care to each patient’s unique genetic makeup, environment, and lifestyle. Precision Medicine and its heavy focus on human genetics is now integrated into my practice, which gives us important tools to prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide range of diseases. I am personally very excited about bringing this approach to my patients, as I believe it represents both the present and future of healthcare.
