Preparing for Your Visit

Preparing for your visit with a genetic counselor

A genetic counseling appointment is much more than a blood draw. The counselor will provide a personalized genetic risk assessment, discuss genetic testing options and order appropriate testing, as well as provide medical referrals and guidance. To accomplish this we need your help with the following:

  • Personal Family Questionnaire
  • Medical Records
  • Prior Genetic Test Results

Genetic Testing Options 

Genetic counseling is available for individuals at risk for tumors and cancers

We see individuals and families affected by or at risk for a variety of inherited genetic conditions that increase the risk for tumors and cancers, including:

  • Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer - BRCA1 and BRCA2
  • Lynch Syndrome
  • Hereditary Polyposis
