Our genetic counseling team

Our Genetic Counselors facilitate your practice of personalized, preventive genomic medicine.

The Navigenics genetic testing services include access to our team of board-certified Genetic Counselors for both physicians and patients. This team of healthcare professionals is ready to help you integrate preventive genomic medicine into your practice effectively.

• Genetic counselors are master's-level trained healthcare specialists, certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling. They have expertise in medical genetics, risk communication, and strategies for helping people manage genetic information.
• In practice settings, genetic counselors work with healthcare providers and patients to identify hereditary risks, discuss options in genetic testing, explain genetic test results and review available diagnostic, preventive and early detection options.
• Navigenics' Genetic Counselors work with physicians and their patients, helping them to understand their test results and facilitating informed clinical decision-making. For instance, physicians frequently call the Navigenics counselors to discuss their patients’ genetic test results, ask questions about genomics, and explore commonly asked patient questions about genetic testing.
• Our Genetic Counselors are also available for onsite visits to train physicians’ office staff.
