Genetic Counseling
Genetic counseling is one of the many services offered in the Maternal Fetal Diagnostic Center. Patients are educated about their prenatal testing options, as well as their risk of having a child with a birth defect or genetic disease. Our Genetic counselors are specialty trained; licensed professionals who help determine what tests are appropriate for each family. When testing is complete, our counselors clearly explain the results and provide education and counseling if necessary.
Patients are referred for genetic counseling for a variety of indications including: first trimester screening, abnormal maternal serum screening, advanced maternal age, abnormal finding by ultrasound examination, recurrent miscarriage and family history of a birth defect or genetic disease. Preconceptional counseling is also offered.
