TESTING AREAS
Diagnostic Tests We Help You Access
Two of the most advanced diagnostic areas we help Canadians access. Each is evaluated through a physician guided consultation based on your health history and goals.
Cancer Screening
Galleri is an advanced blood-based screening test that can detect biological signals associated with multiple cancer types, sometimes before symptoms appear.
GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes how your genes may affect your response to specific medications. It helps healthcare providers identify inherited risks and determine which medications might be the most effective or well-tolerated for your body.
QbCheck is a FDA cleared and NICE recommended objective computer based test that measures attention, impulsivity, and activity patterns to support ADHD assessment.
Submit interest via our website or book a consultation. Dr. Sanei will review your health history and goals and help determine what, if anything, is worth exploring.
THE DIFFERENCE
What Makes These Tests Different
Standard screening tells you whether you fall within a normal range for your age group. Advanced diagnostic testing looks at your specific biology, including genetic markers, cellular signals, and personal risk factors, to detect patterns earlier and with more precision.
Standard Canadian Screening
Advanced Diagnostics at Kanata Health
Screens for a small number of specific conditions
Looks across a broader range of biological signals simultaneously
Based on population averages and age guidelines
Considers your personal genetics, biomarkers, and family history
Typically triggered by symptoms or age milestones
Can provide insight before symptoms develop
Widely available through the Canadian healthcare system
Currently available through specialized U.S. laboratories and providers
These tests are designed to complement your existing care, not replace it. Results are always reviewed with Dr.Sanei alongside your standard medical history.
In the traditional healthcare model, a patient waits for a symptom to appear before a doctor orders a test. The fatal flaw in this design is that by the time you feel a symptom, the underlying condition has often progressed to a stage that is harder, more painful, and significantly more expensive to treat.
Early detection flips the script. It catches the biological "smoke" before the entire house catches fire.
WHO THIS MAY BE FOR
Who This May Be For
Family History
You have a family history of cancer, heart disease, or other conditions and want a clearer view of your personal risk.
Normal Results. Ongoing Concern
Your standard screening or bloodwork came back normal, but you still feel there may be more worth understanding.
Life Stage Shift
You are in your 40s or 50s, or entering a stage of life where preventive insight feels more important.
Medication Response Questions
You want to understand how your genetics may affect the medications you take now or may need in the future.
Broader Health Picture
You want a more complete view of your metabolic, hormonal, or cardiovascular health than routine bloodwork provides.
Prepared to Invest Out of Pocket
You are open to paying privately for health information that is not currently covered by your provincial plan.
If you are unsure whether any of this applies to you, that is exactly what the consultation is designed to help you figure out.
