Helping Patients Manage Their Health With Proactive Genetics

Proactive genetics testing allows individuals to take more control of their own health. Instead of waiting for problems to show up, proactive testing helps individuals find out they are at-risk for a disease before it develops or develops further. If a health risk is identified, we provide next steps for prevention or monitoring for early diagnosis and treatment.

How It Works

Initial Consultation

Our genetic counselors are available to meet via phone 7-days a week, with appointment availability in less than a week.

Your patient will receive a phone call from a genetic counselor at the time of their scheduled appointment. Appointments are typically 30-60 minutes. During the appointment, the genetic counselor will review personal and family medical history, assess risk for inherited genetic conditions, and may discuss the benefits and limitations of genetic testing. The genetic counselor will also address the patient’s concerns or questions about genetic testing.

This initial consultation does not obligate your patients to complete a genetic test. That is their decision based on what was learned from this initial consult.

In most cases, genetic testing can be performed on a blood or saliva sample.The wait time to receive test results depends on the test that is ordered. In many cases, test results will be available in 2-4 weeks.

Giving Patients More Control

Genetic test results can be complex. A genetic counselor can explain what results mean—and don’t mean—so that patients can understand them and can meaningfully use the insights that they learn.
