“The number one benefit that I get from using the Maximize Genetics Test for my patients is that we can individualize the treatment protocols for people.”
“MaxGen Labs is the best at providing reports. I just think that the report that comes out is just so user friendly and easy to interpret.”
“From a cost perspective, you're not going to find a more cost effective treatment for around $200 you can get the entire panel for the Max Function Panel.”
The interview
Who are you and what is your experience with genetic testing?
I am Dr. David Berger from Tampa, Florida. I have been using Max function as my Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Test when it comes to genetics and nutrition since almost the inception of the company. I am an early adapter for them; I have been looking at MTHFR and other methylation genes for almost 25 years now.
Why did you choose MaxGen Labs over other test panels?
When a report was given to me for the first time, I was able to see how comprehensive it was, how easy it is to explain and interpret, and to put it together in the big picture. I didn't really need to look elsewhere because I really found a test panel that really works for me. I've had no reason to change to anybody else because the MaxGen profiles, in particular the Max Function that I use, have all that I need.
What is the primary benefit you get from using the Maximize Genetics Test for your patients?
The number one benefit is that we can individualize the treatment protocols for people, to have a better understanding as to if particular forms of B vitamins are needed or potentially higher amounts of B vitamins are needed. If a particular enzyme shown from a SNP interferes with those functions, it allows me to tell people exactly what they need.
What makes the MaxGen Labs reports stand out from competitors?
MaxGen Labs is the best at providing reports. The report that comes out is just so user-friendly and easy to interpret. It has specific genes that are clinically relevant. Some other panels have every single gene for every type of mutation, making it hard to suss out which the important ones are, but MaxGen makes it clear.
What has been your experience working with the MaxGen Labs team?
I have known Chad, the director, since almost the lab started. He and I actually got to work on a lot of stuff together at the beginning. Even to this day, he is very available; we continue to research different SNPs together and point things out to each other. It's nice to be involved with a company that is so receptive to hearing what physicians are saying.
What is your recommendation for other practitioners considering this test?
My recommendation is to do the test and see. From a cost perspective, you're not going to find a more cost-effective treatment; for around $200 you can get the entire Max Function Panel. Order the tests, see what you can do, and use customer support to help figure things out.
Frequently asked
Are MaxGen Labs reports difficult for patients to understand?
No, Dr. David Berger notes that the reports are organized and explained in a way that makes them easy to interpret and present to patients. He describes the output as the most user-friendly report he has seen compared to other panels.
How does MaxGen Labs handle the volume of genetic data?
Dr. Berger highlights that MaxGen Labs focuses on specific genes that are clinically relevant rather than listing every possible mutation. This makes it easier for practitioners to 'suss out' the important variants without being overwhelmed by irrelevant data.
Is genetic testing through MaxGen Labs expensive for patients?
Dr. Berger considers the testing highly cost-effective, stating that for around $200, a patient can receive the entire Max Function Panel, which he believes is a superior value in the market.
