Introduction
In the tapestry of human health, our genetic makeup holds profound insights into our deepest identity — our vulnerabilities, our strengths, and often, our medical future.

Our Genetic Counseling services are here to provide compassionate guidance, helping you unravel the complexities of your genetic story and empowering you with knowledge and support.

What is Genetic Counseling?
Genetic Counseling is a process that supports individuals or families who have, or may be at risk for, genetic disorders. Through detailed discussions, analysis, and guidance, certified genetic counselors help you comprehend the nature of genetic conditions, understand their implications, evaluate risks, and make informed decisions about testing and management.

Why Seek Genetic Counseling?

1. Family Planning: Couples considering parenthood can gain insights into potential genetic risks they may pass on to children.
2. Pregnancy:

Expectant parents with abnormal prenatal tests can receive assistance in understanding their baby's genetic health.
3. Genetic Conditions:

Individuals or families with inherited conditions or unexplained symptoms can explore their genetic underpinnings.
4. Cancer Risk Assessment:

People with a family history of cancer can understand their own risk and consider preventative actions.
5. Emotional Support:

Facing genetic risks can be distressing. Counselors provide empathetic support alongside factual information.

The Process of Genetic Counseling
Embarking on genetic counseling involves several key steps, each handled with utmost care and confidentiality:

- Pre-Session Assessment: Collection of detailed family medical histories and any relevant medical records.
- Initial Consultation: A comprehensive session where counselors discuss your genetic makeup, explain potential risks, and explore your concerns and options.
- Genetic Testing (if applicable): If you opt for genetic testing, counselors will guide you through the process and implications of various tests.
