Our Goal: Excellence in Genetic Health Care
Diagnostic evaluations are available for children and adults who are suspected of having a genetic disorder, have significant developmental delay, mental retardation, growth delay, dysmorphic or unusual physical features, structural birth defects, metabolic disorders or multiple system disorders. The goal of our evaluations is to arrive at a specific diagnosis that will allow us to provide information on the etiology, prognosis, management and recurrence risk associated with the condition.
Referrals to appropriate medical support services are provided in accordance with the nature of the condition. Genetic counseling is available at the conclusion of our evaluations to discuss inheritance patterns reproductive risks, and options for prenatal diagnosis if they exist.
