About Us

At DOCS Genetics, we are a dedicated team of four women driven by a shared passion to transform the landscape of pediatric healthcare.  Founded by Lana Garner, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine; Leah Teekell Taylor, a Medical Doctor; Lara Garner Shane, an MSHA graduate; and Mandy Blume, MS in Clinical Nutrition and doctoral candidate. Together, our company stands at the intersection of science, medicine, nutrition, and education, aiming to empower parents in making informed decisions for their children's health.

Each of us brings a unique perspective and expertise to the table. Lana’s holistic approach to health integrates traditional practices with modern science, ensuring that our methods are grounded in a comprehensive understanding of well-being. Leah, with her extensive medical and surgical background, offers insights into the intricacies of vaccines and the importance of tailored healthcare solutions. Lara, with her business acumen and leadership talent, drives our mission forward, ensuring that we not only provide cutting-edge genetic testing but also create a supportive and educational environment for families. Mandy’s expertise in autism and functional nutrition adds a vital dimension, helping us understand and address the developmental needs of children with autism and related conditions.

At DOCS Genetics, we believe that health decisions should not be standardized; instead, they should be as unique as the children they pertain to. Our genetic testing services allow parents to understand their child’s genetic predispositions, provide clarity on what vaccines are most suitable and when they should be administered. By moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach, we aim to reduce anxiety and uncertainty surrounding vaccinations, fostering a sense of confidence and transparency in parents as they navigate their child’s healthcare journey with their health care provider.

Our mission goes beyond testing; it encompasses a commitment to education and advocacy. We strive to empower parents with the knowledge they need to make informed choices while promoting a dialogue about personalized healthcare in our communities. Together, we envision a future where every child receives the best possible start in life, tailored to their individual genetic makeup.

Join us as we embark on this journey to revolutionize pediatric health and create a supportive network for families. At Docs Genetics, we are not just a company; we are a movement toward personalized health for every child.
