I really like the lab tests offered by Function Health and the explanations of doing these lab tests and they seem to be accurate. And also, the lab costs seem reasonable, but not cheap. Also, you can order optional lab tests not included in the regular yearly membership fee, but it can eventually become costly, depending what you order. The one complaint I had was that it was not clear that when I was trying to schedule an appointment for my first blood draw why I needed to schedule another appointment for another blood draw in about 10 days after the first blood draw. I knew the membership included 2 sets of blood work in 12 months, but I thought it was kind of odd to do the second set of blood work so soon. So, when I got my first blood work drawn, I asked the technician about it and she told me that she'll need about 20 tubes of blood for all that testing and they don't like to draw that much blood at one time, so that's why it's divided into 2 appointments. So, I assume when I do my second set of blood work in about 3-4 months I'll have to be stuck twice again. Also, on collecting urine , that was not too clear either. Was the lab supposed to collect the urine both times or just one time. The lab collected the urine on my second visit only. As a patient you like to make certain you have enough urine in your bladder.Function Health should have warned people up front about this, since some people have to drive further to get to the lab and some people don't like being stuck with a needle too frequently like me. Otherwise, it was a good experience so far, and then I trust Quest Labs.

The concept and the service is unequivocal. I lined up some doctor appointments for when the full report was projected to be completed. One test held up everything so the timing did not work out and then I had to leave the country to travel. I was happy with the results and have already made adjustments that are making a difference.

The wait to get my blood draw was 20 mins. I had not planned for that and it played havoc with my schedule. When I was called in, it was very fast and efficient.

Definitely an easy process. When I shared my results with my practitioner, they found some additional things that could be contributing to the issues that were discovered. So working on that. Will be curious to see what my next blood results show.

Ease of making an appointment with Quest was great. Responsiveness of customer service team was solid. Results and clinician's notes took 3-3.5 weeks, which seemed long. Once results were obtained, I would have liked to have been able to connect with a Function Health approved biohacker (someone like Mark Hyman or Gary Brecka) to go over my results on the phone and suggest a supplementation plan alongside all the supplements I currently take (for a fee of course). The written summaries for each biomarker, while helpful, weren't robust enough to understand holistically how the entirety of results would be affected thru supplementation, lifestyle change or nutrition.

Really easy process. Took a bit longer to get results than expected. Very pleased with the info I received. Quite educational. Appreciated the thorough explanations of each test, result, recommendation, etc. Wish there was an easier way to share with my primary care physician. What I saw was not user friendly. Would like to share exactly what I received with my doctor in similar format.

I liked learning about certain blood markers. One marker was flagged as high which prompted me to go to my doctor, however, this marker is actually normal for my age. (SHBG). I kinda wasted my time and money going to my doctor for this….

I like all the information that you get, it is a good concept, but there is no clear guidance as to what to do after you get the results. You have to take the results to your own physician, and a Functional Medicine doctor is the only type of doctor that will look at the results. They need to be more upfront at the beginning about that. The clinical recommendations that they give you are not specific enough to act on.
