Genetic Testing

Our committed and passionate team of Genetic Counsellors work closely with No.1 Fertility Specialists and our No.1 Clinical Geneticist to provide evidence-based genetic counselling around patients’ genetic health information to facilitate informed choice about genetic testing options. As genomic technologies continue to evolve and advance, patients and health care professionals are faced with increasingly complex information and decisions surrounding genetic risk and a growing myriad of testing options. Our team of highly qualified Genetic Counsellors bring a wealth of experience from various areas of clinical genetics including prenatal, general, cancer, and IVF and enjoy applying their knowledge to empower our patients with the tools and knowledge to make complex medical decisions.

We believe our role is often as translators, creating a bridge between the ‘science’ of complex technical genetic information, and the ‘art’ of empathy and communication. We cover a broad scope of cases, ranging from couples seeking preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) due to an increased risk of having a child with a serious genetic condition, to patients seeking to understand their genetic risk based on age, family history or further genetic screening tests. We love the power of human connection built on empathy and compassion, and feel extremely privileged to be able to walk alongside our patients on each of their unique fertility journeys.
