Genetic Counselling Consultation
By analyzing your medical and family history and any genetic test results you may have, our bilingual, Canadian board-certified genetic counsellors can determine your genetic risks to help you and your healthcare provider make informed, precise, and personalized decisions about your healthcare and, sometimes, the care of your family, too. These services are available to patients with a healthcare provider referral and can be arranged as part of contracts with research or clinical partnerships. Consultations are up 60 minutes in length.About Genetic Counselling Consultation
