Anyone ever used Empire City Laboratories.

[Vince]

Went to my lipidologist this morning and my blood was sent to empire city labs. I was told they do very intense testing. They even do DNA testing to see what food you should eating.

I was told they will bill me 3 times and I shouldn't pay any of them, by law they are required to? I'm told whatever my insurance pays, that's all they collect.

Empire City Laboratories is a full-service clinical laboratory that caters to all medical specialties’ and is recognized for their quality and customer service. ECL understands that personalized medicine is the future of healthcare, and is at the forefront of technological innovation with advanced diagnostic tests and tools. That is why ECL exclusively partnered up with Integrated Genetic Solutions (IGS) to bring a comprehensive and fully individualized medical solution to the mass market.



IGS technology is the first of its kind that uses mathematical analysis of the DNA and body chemistry for a comprehensive and completely personalized medical treatment needed to maximize each individual patient’s optimal mental and physical health. What normally would take over 30 hours to do, IGS accomplishes this in a click of a mouse with its mathematical algorithm.

The personalized solution starts with laboratory-certified DNA and blood chemistry testing, using IGS, a doctor is able to isolate imbalances and underlying causes in the body by the person’s unique composition of hormones, pre-hormones, fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, minerals, proteins and various genetic markers as well as age, gender and weight. Based on these no-two-alike factors, a doctor is able to recommend specialized and personalized compounded medications and supplements along with a completely tailored nutrition and exercise plan to reach optimal levels of health both mentally and physically.

Founded in 2005, when a vision to provide customized medical services tailored to client needs became reality, ECL opened its 40,000-square-foot facility in Brooklyn, New York. Being a fully accredited private and independent laboratory, with their quick availability, conscientious staff and customizable lab service ECL has a huge competitive advantage against the rest. Aside from the standard superior service to various medical specialties, ECL is the lab of choice for integrated health and anti-aging physicians, specializing in vitamins, hormone testing, trace elements testing, genetic testing and more. ECL provides anatomical and clinical laboratory evaluations through its state-of-the-art technology.


One might wonder how a private business competes with larger national brand laboratories. The answer is simple—provide more tailored services and always look into new and innovative ways to excite doctors. Empire City Laboratories is at the forefront of revolutionizing medical advancements. Their next direction will specialize in immunology, oncology and cancer testing. Keeping up with the movement of technology and being one of few laboratories nationally with its own Lab Information System is what sets them apart from others labs, offering unique and convenient services focused on preventative care, health and nutrition.

If your doctor said that they will send you a bill and you don’t have to pay is most likely because he has a deal with this laboratory. My old TRT doctor had a similar arrangement.

I still get my testosterone panel through Defy Medical, at LabCorp.

I've never heard of this clinic, but from what you wrote here, I agree with you that it's mostly for advertisement. Some things mentioned here are almost too good to be true))
I have trust issues with counting on such clinics. It takes some time for me to believe in the services provided by medical specialists. I always analyze everything from head to toe. I also focus on the medical equipment they're using. It is essential to see that the equipment is efficient and it deliberates qualitative diagnoses. After I looked over this link Guide to Medical Equipment Testing & Maintenance - Biomedics I started to ask the doctors about their equipment maintenance.

I always get a complete cholesterol panel. Very few doctors run them.
