The Lamkin Clinic in Edmond, Oklahoma uses advanced diagnostic services to build a precise, complete picture of each patient's health before any treatment begins. Functional medicine is only as good as the data behind it. Our diagnostic services provide that data.
Effective treatment requires accurate measurement. At The Lamkin Clinic, every clinical decision is grounded in objective diagnostic data, not assumptions or symptom checklists alone. Our diagnostic services include in-clinic bone density and body composition analysis, advanced cardiovascular screening, and access to 24 specialty laboratory partners through a single physician-ordered portal. For patients in Edmond, Oklahoma City, and the surrounding area, this represents a level of diagnostic depth that is rarely available outside major academic medical centers.
Diagnostic Services at The Lamkin Clinic
Bone Density Analysis
GE Lunar DEXA scanning provides precise measurement of bone mineral density at the AP spine and proximal femur, the two most clinically significant sites for osteoporosis risk and fracture prediction. The spine's high concentration of metabolically active trabecular bone makes it the most sensitive site for monitoring treatment response. Femoral density is the strongest predictor of hip fracture risk. Results are interpreted by Dr. Lamkin in the context of your full health profile.
Complete Body Composition Analysis
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) goes beyond weight and BMI to measure total body fat percentage, regional fat distribution, lean muscle mass by limb and trunk, visceral fat, and bone density in a single 10-minute non-invasive scan. This data is essential for monitoring response to weight loss, hormone optimization, peptide, and body contouring protocols. Learn more about DEXA scanning
Advanced Cardiovascular Screening
A multi-component cardiovascular risk assessment protocol that measures lipoprotein particle characteristics, inflammation markers, genetic clotting and plaque risk, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), ankle brachial index, calcium score, and cardiac function markers. Standard lipid panels miss the majority of cardiovascular risk. Our protocol captures it. Learn more about cardiovascular screening
Specialty Laboratory Testing
Physician-ordered functional medicine lab panels covering hormones, nutrients, toxins, gut health, immune function, genetics, and more through 24 specialty laboratory partners. All tests are ordered and interpreted by Dr. Lamkin as part of your clinical evaluation. See all specialty lab services
Why Diagnostics Come First
At The Lamkin Clinic, we do not treat assumptions. Before prescribing hormones, peptides, a weight loss protocol, or a metabolic treatment, we establish an objective baseline. This serves two purposes: it ensures the treatment is appropriate for your specific physiology, and it gives us a benchmark to measure results against.
This diagnostic-first approach is what separates functional medicine from symptom-chasing. When a patient comes to us with fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog, the cause could be thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiency, toxic load, gut dysbiosis, or any combination of these. Only comprehensive diagnostic data reveals which factors are actually driving the presentation and in what priority order they should be addressed.
The same principle applies after treatment begins. Repeat diagnostics at defined intervals confirm that the protocol is producing the expected physiological changes and allow Dr. Lamkin to adjust dosing, add or remove interventions, and optimize outcomes based on real data rather than subjective report alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What diagnostic services does The Lamkin Clinic offer in Edmond, Oklahoma?
The Lamkin Clinic offers GE Lunar bone density analysis, complete DEXA body composition scanning, advanced cardiovascular screening including CIMT and lipoprotein particle testing, and physician-ordered specialty lab panels through 24 laboratory partners. All diagnostics are ordered and interpreted by Dr. Brian Lamkin as part of a comprehensive functional medicine evaluation.
Do I need to be an existing patient to access diagnostic services?
DEXA body composition scanning is available to community members who are not current patients, with no obligation to enroll in any program. Advanced cardiovascular screening and specialty lab panels are typically ordered as part of a clinical evaluation. Contact us to discuss which services are appropriate for your situation.
How does diagnostic testing fit into treatment at The Lamkin Clinic?
Every treatment protocol at The Lamkin Clinic begins with diagnostic testing to establish a precise baseline. Results guide which treatments are ordered, at what doses, and in what combination. Repeat testing at defined intervals confirms treatment response and drives protocol adjustments. This data-driven approach is central to the functional medicine model.
