I recently underwent lab work elsewhere; will Transcend accept those results?
At Transcend, our assessments require a unique and comprehensive blood panel to ensure accurate and personalized health insights. Therefore, we typically request that tests be ordered through us. We understand you may have recent results from elsewhere and invite you to share them with our team. We'll review them to see if they can complement our analysis or if additional specific tests are required.
For personalized assistance or further queries, please contact our support team. We're here to ensure your health evaluation is thorough and tailored to you.
