Why Would I Need a DNA Test?

DNA testing can provide important answers for a variety of personal and legal reasons, including:

  • Paternity Testing: To confirm biological fatherhood
  • Maternity Testing: Less common, but sometimes needed for legal cases
  • Sibling Testing: To determine if individuals share one or both biological parents
  • Grandparent or Other Family Relationship Testing
  • Court-Admissible Results: For family law matters, immigration applications, or custody cases
  • Peace of Mind: Where legal documentation isn’t needed, but clarity is

Whether the test is for legal purposes or your own understanding, our medical team will guide you through every step with clarity and compassion.
