One coordinated team, one plan for your care
Genetic care is as much about understanding as it is about testing. Our medical geneticists and genetic counselors work with specialists across the hospital — in oncology, obstetrics and reproductive medicine — to assess family history, recommend the right tests, and explain what results mean for you and your relatives. Services cover the diagnosis of hereditary diseases, hereditary cancer-risk assessment, prenatal diagnosis during pregnancy, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) carried out alongside IVF.
International patients are guided by a dedicated coordinator throughout. Because much of genetic care begins with records, our team can review your family history, previous test results and reports remotely to advise on the most appropriate testing before you travel, and you receive a transparent, personalized cost estimate in advance.
