Why Chose Us
Our specialists can help identify and determine the appropriate tests and provide information about potential treatment and long-term outcomes if a patient is diagnosed with a genetic condition. The evaluation process includes a full review of the patient’s medical history and generational family history, followed by appropriate blood, urine and imaging diagnostics, as well as referral to other specialists as needed. As the region's only pediatric genetics specialty center, we help children and families understand genetic conditions so they can make informed decisions about their care.
In addition to determining a diagnosis, some reasons that individuals may seek genetic evaluation include:
