Deciding to do genetic testing isn’t always easy. What will I find out? What do I do if I find out I’m at risk of developing a disorder? What will this mean for my family or my insurance coverage? We understand those questions are on your mind and can provide answers to them. Further, we guide you through the decision making process to help you determine whether genetic testing is right for you and what may be the best test to do.
We provide personalized and compassionate genetic testing and counseling. We do genetic testing and counseling for cancer and cardiovascular risk, neurological disorders, genetic diseases that affect the eyes, carrier screening for family planning, drug metabolism (called pharmacogenetics), interpretation of direct-to-consumer genetic testing and proactive genetic testing (like whole genome screening).
You can come to our office, or you get counseling from the comfort of your home. First, we’ll go through your personal and family medical history. Second, we’ll perform a risk assessment and discuss the pros and cons of genetic testing as well as review the logistics of genetic testing. Lastly, if you opt for genetic testing, we’ll walk you through what the results mean and what options exist for you and your family members.
From start to finish, we can provide personalized care in a timely manner.
