Our Services

Some types of cancer can be hereditary (meaning they may run in families), and members may be at a higher risk of developing cancer. Genetic testing for hereditary cancer conditions can guide proactive screening, management, and prevention options.

Carrier screening can determine whether you or your partner carry certain genetic conditions that could be passed on to your children. Our services of testing, reviewing results, and providing guidance about reproductive options allow you to keep your future family’s health a priority.

In addition, our clinic offers evaluation for genetic causes of recurrent pregnancy loss, such as karyotype testing. We know this can be a difficult experience, and our compassionate approach to counseling allows us to walk alongside you in this journey.

Each person has a unique body type that stores fat and uses energy differently, which can make trying to lose weight using a one-size-fits-all approach fruitless and frustrating. Understanding your obesity phenotype can help guide which weight loss interventions may work best for your body.

Certain genetic markers in the APOE‍ gene may increase someone’s risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or may provide marginal protection against developing the condition. Genetic testing for this gene can provide information about the chances of developing Alzheimer’s for you and your loved ones.

Certain genetic conditions can affect the function of the heart, including cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, aortic conditions, cholesterol and blood pressure disorders. Genetic testing and counseling can allow for proactive screening and lifestyle modifications to help you live your healthiest life.

Pharmacogenomic testing can help us understand how a person’s genes influence the way their body handles medications. It may explain why the same medicine can work well for one person but cause strong side effects or not work at all for someone else. By using this information, healthcare providers can choose medicines and doses that are more likely to be safe and effective for each individual.

Connective tissue disorders may include symptoms such as joint and muscle pain, hypermobility, GI issues, easy bruising, and others. Genetic evaluation and counseling can help clarify risk for individuals and families and help determine management strategies.

** Please note that while genetic counseling can offer valuable insight, a physical exam by a medical geneticist or other healthcare provider remains the gold standard of care for diagnosis with connective tissue disorders **

Whether a known genetic condition has been diagnosed in your family or there is concern for one, comprehensive genetic counseling can help clarify risk for you and your loved ones, determine if testing is available, and consider next steps for management.

Conditions such as epilepsy, neuropathy, developmental delay, movement disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorder can have genetic causes. Genetic testing and counseling can help determine diagnosis and guide next steps in medical management.

If you have already undergone genetic testing and want to better understand your results, our dedicated genetic counseling services can provide a personalized interpretation of your testing that has been previously performed. Whether ordered through an online company or by another healthcare provider, we help you understand what your results mean for you and your loved ones. 

** We ask that you provide your results when booking your appointment so we may have adequate time for review **
