Genetic Counselors

Genetic counselors are healthcare professionals who specialize in genetics and provide guidance to individuals and families about genetic conditions. They help assess the risk of inherited disorders, interpret genetic test results, and discuss the implications for health and future family planning. By combining expert knowledge of genetics with empathetic support, genetic counselors empower patients to make informed decisions regarding their health and the health of their family members. Their role is essential in navigating complex genetic information and facilitating communication with other healthcare providers.
