What to Expect from a PFAS Consultation
Experience the Best Care at Medication Consultation Services
When you schedule a PFAS medical consultation at MCS, you can expect to complete a comprehensive environmental health history including information about where and how you live, eat, hydrate, work and play. You may have already had your water or blood tested for PFAS or wish to have this information collected, and we will discuss how this is undertaken and interpreted. We will explore the things in your life that may make you more susceptible to illness, like preexisting conditions, family history and other exposures. Usually, this takes an entire visit. A second visit is scheduled to review any further testing which was needed, and to review the recommendations for your long-term health. These recommendations can be taken to your regular primary care provider for review and discussion.
