MicroGenDX Reviews 348

I purchased the MensKEY test from MicroGenDX after suffering for nearly 3 years with medically diagnosed Prostatitis and ongoing UTI-like symptoms. Conventional testing had not identified the specific bacteria, which is exactly why I turned to MicroGenDX. Their marketing repeatedly states they provide “answers where cultures have failed” and detect over 60,000 potential microbes using advanced qPCR + NGS testing.

In addition to prostatitis, I have been experiencing multiple severe UTI-type symptoms for over a year, including:

* Burning with urination
* Discharge
* Frequent urination
* Urgency
* Cloudy urine
* Discomfort after ejaculation

Because of these symptoms and my diagnosis, I was hopeful this test would finally provide clarity.

When I received the test kit, I took the collection process extremely seriously. I carefully read all instructions, watched MicroGenDX’s own instructional videos on YouTube, and followed every step precisely. I even drove out of my way to a FedEx airport location to ensure the samples would be shipped as quickly and securely as possible.

About a week later, I received my results.

The report indicated no bacteria, fungi, or organisms detected in any sample — urine or semen.

Given my diagnosed prostatitis, history of purulent discharge, and ongoing symptoms, this result was extremely concerning and did not align with my clinical situation. MicroGenDX also states their testing can detect over 60,000 microbial species and provide answers where traditional testing fails, which made the completely negative result even more questionable.

I immediately contacted MicroGenDX and explained my situation. I requested either a complimentary retest or a refund.

I was told my request would be escalated and that I would hear back within 1–2 days. That did not happen.

After multiple follow-ups over the next two weeks, I was eventually offered only 50% off another test, meaning I would have to pay again after already spending over $300+ for results that did not match my diagnosed condition or symptoms.

I explained that I had followed all instructions carefully, was not on antibiotics, and that given the circumstances, a complimentary retest or refund would be reasonable. After expressing my concerns, communication stopped and I have not received further assistance.

This has been extremely disappointing, especially given the expectations created by MicroGenDX’s marketing, which promises:

- “Answers where cultures have failed”
- “Detection of 60,000+ microbes”
- “Relief for chronic or recurrent UTIs”
- “Gold standard of infectious disease diagnostics”

After nearly 3 years of dealing with prostatitis and UTI-like symptoms, I purchased this test hoping for answers. Instead, I was left with more uncertainty, sleepless nights, and additional stress.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company and would urge others dealing with chronic prostatitis or UTI symptoms to carefully consider whether this testing is worth the cost.

I am still hopeful MicroGenDX will make this right by offering a complimentary retest or refund.

timely test results and great guidance for getting the correct antibiotic prescribed.

Exact, precise data, so that one know how to proceed with a definite treatment based on data.

Everyone that I spoke with on the phone was lovely, but the website for setting the password and for setting up the patient portal weren't user friendly and didn't deliver the desired results without calling your wonderful customer support personnel!

The customer support team was excellent and could answer all of my questions and help me to get my samples submitted. The submission process was easy and I got my results in a timely fashion.

I received no information and no correspondence after registering my kit. I was very careful to follow all instructions, but there has been no update, response, or support. The lack of communication is extremely frustrating, especially for a medical-related service where timely feedback matters. I expected clear updates and basic customer service, but did not receive either.

I had been struggling with recurrent UTIs and had been on several courses of antibiotics. I would get some relief, but not feel fully well and was getting no help through traditional testing. My last urine analysis and urine culture through Quest actually came back negative, even though I was quite symptomatic at the time.
The MicroGenDX test showed 2 different pathogens and none of the antibiotics that I had been on covered both pathogens. The report clearly showed what antibiotics would cover both pathogens and treating with the appropriate antibiotic has made all the difference in the world.

Great service, quick turnaround in shipping out the sample kit and processing it. From online order to results in 5 days, including the weekend is amazing.
The results report was easy to read and appreciated by my doctor.

Quick results! Information was very good and helpful. My doctor was easily able to review and assess my needs. Thank you!

Customer service is always very helpful. I get my results back in a timely manner. Microgen has become a source of comfort for me because I know I’ll get answers that maybe I haven’t been able to in the past. That helps me get better and eases my mind knowing I can trust the results.

Finally someone can help me with my chronic UTI.

On time shipping. Fast results. Thorough testing with drug testing for susceptibility. Other traditional urinalysis and pcr tests have failed to detect bacteria.

Product was never delivered.

Thanks for your services. I’m really impressed by how quickly the results came back and by the final report and the antimicrobial suggested by the lab. It was easy to read! After many months of having frequent UTI and not getting a culture from the labs I used, even from the urgent cares I went to, finally I’m on the right course of treatment. Anyone having a frustrating or misdiagnosed UTI should buy the MicroGenDx urine test.

Can't say enough about this company as a whole and it's assets like Vivian G who went above and beyond and not only answered all 647 questions I had about all 27 different tests and what shows up and what will be able to get into the biofilm and give me the answers I've been desperately seeking for over a year now just now getting more and more sick and less and less able to advocate for myself, my health and my life. A systematic fungal infection that spread from my gut to my lips (angular chelitis) reoccurring and disappearing with treatment and coming right back to my scalp to my hands to my feet and now my sinuses putting me at risk for fungal menengitis with a biofilm protecting it from treatment and diagnosis so I am so grateful tests and companies like this exist to save my life and my quality of life at that! Thank you Microgendx!
