Advanced Diagnostic Tests

Explore Advanced Diagnostic Testing Options

Some of the most advanced diagnostic tests are now becoming available to Canadians, but navigating access, clinical appropriateness, and result interpretation requires expert guidance.

These tests are designed to provide:

Earlier insight into potential health risks
More personalized information based on biomarkers and genetics
Additional context beyond standard screening programs
Objective data to support ADHD assessment when appropriate

At Kanata Health, we help you:

Understand what these tests are
Determine whether they are appropriate for you
Access them through a physician-guided process

Kanata Health is currently focused on the following physician-guided pathways:

Galleri® multi-cancer early detection
GeneSight® pharmacogenomic testing
ADHD assessment using QbCheck

The first step is always a physician consultation. If a test is not appropriate for your situation, Dr. Ali Sanei will tell you that clearly. There is no obligation to proceed.

Why Physician Guidance Matters

Why Physician Guidance Matters

Without physician guidance:

an unsuitable test may waste money and lead to unnecessary follow-up

results may be misinterpreted, causing false reassurance or unnecessary anxiety

there may be no clear plan for what happens next

At Kanata Health, Dr. Ali Sanei helps determine whether testing or assessment makes sense for your situation and ensures that results are interpreted within the context of your overall health. If a test or assessment is not appropriate, he will explain why and help you understand what may make more sense instead.
