Genetic Counseling

Through our partnership with Integrated Genetics, we offer on-site genetic counseling services for our patients. Genetic counselors are healthcare professionals with specialized training in both clinical genetics and counseling. They hold a master’s degree in Genetic Counseling or Human Genetics and are licensed by the State of California.

Genetic counseling provides the opportunity to meet one-on-one with an expert who can help evaluate genetic risks, review personal and family medical history, and discuss how these factors may influence pregnancy. During the appointment, you may be asked about your health, your family’s health history, and your ethnic background. Available prenatal genetic screening and diagnostic testing options will be reviewed to help you make informed decisions about whether testing is right for you.

Genetic counseling is also available to support patients with abnormal or uncertain test results. Your counselor will help interpret results, discuss next steps, and provide guidance and support during what can be a challenging time.
