Your doctor might recommend you receive a blood test, imaging test, or other diagnostic procedures. They may refer you to a specialist in your area if necessary. Your Onyx Direct Care specialist can treat you virtually by recommending at-home treatments or prescribing medications to help you achieve optimal health and wellness.
