Our skilled and caring team includes board certified clinical geneticist physicians, board certified genetic counselors, and a registered nurse - prenatal diagnosis coordinator.

We provide genetic evaluation, testing and counseling for:

• Pregnant patients who are at risk of having children with genetic conditions or birth defects
• Follow-up for abnormal prenatal tests, including AFP, genetic carrier screening or abnormal ultrasound
• Pediatric and adult patients who have, or are at risk of having, a genetic condition or birth defect
• Inherited susceptibility to conditions such as cancer

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
