Understanding the process
Many people are led to us by a referral, usually prompted by a significant life event like a complicated pregnancy, a known family history of a specific condition or a health diagnosis of some kind. We begin by evaluating your medical and family histories, and in some cases may perform a physical exam. This process may involve gathering information weeks before your visit in order to construct a family tree.
Performing the right tests for you
After gathering information, we will discuss the different genetic tests that may be right for you. Beyond individual considerations, we also assess potential risks to other family members, offering support and resources. We remain by your side and ready to meet and walk you through the findings as well as your feelings.
