Genetic Counseling

What is Genetic Counseling?Genetic Doctor

Although most cancer is not inherited and happens by chance, approximately 5% -10% of all cancers are due to a hereditary factor. Our master’s prepared board certified genetic counselor is available to assess your cancer risk.

Genetic counseling is the process of assessing risk factors for genetic conditions, and providing information and support to individuals and their families regarding:

  • What to expect through the life cycle if a person is diagnosed with a genetic condition
  • How a genetic condition is passed along in the family
  • How that condition may be prevented, treated, or managed
  • Organizations and support groups for specific conditions
  • Insurance coverage for genetic tests and services 
  • Complete a Family History Questionnaire

    Please call (630) 208-4353 for more information about genetic counseling.
