Alpha-Gal Panel

What our customers have to say

Informative all the way through

This was an awesome experience. I had labs to make sure I was a candidate and all the way through they were so informative.

Kind, thorough, and quick with referrals

I called in with recent labs I’d had done, and the doctor was very kind, thorough, and quick — called in all my previous medication right away, and set me up with a few referral doctors.

Finally getting labs and referrals

I’m finally getting the labs and referrals to the specialist I’ve been trying to get into with my prior MD for the last 3 years and I’m finally getting answers.

Amazing value for meds and labs

I needed my blood pressure and diabetes medications renewed, and without insurance right now, it was an amazing value to see a knowledgeable person and get my labs done at a great price and in a timely manner.

Labs drawn locally, results in two days

I saw the doctor on a video call, and he ordered the labs I needed — drawn locally the next day, with the insurance handled through the diagnostic center. I had my results two days later, with a follow-up already scheduled.

Alpha-Gal Panel (IgE Antibodies)

Measures specific IgE antibodies to alpha-gal (galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose), a sugar molecule found in most mammalian meat. Elevated levels may indicate sensitization associated with alpha-gal syndrome, which can cause allergic reactions after eating red meat or other mammalian products.

Includes: CPT 86003, 86008

Total IgE

Measures the overall level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in your blood. Total IgE helps provide context for specific allergy testing and can indicate whether your immune system is producing higher-than-normal amounts of this allergy-related antibody.

Includes: CPT 82785
