What I enjoy most about the practice of clinical genetics is working with a team of talented genetic counselors to identify a specific explanation for the symptoms present in an individual and/or their family members, and then to be able to provide guidance about the nature of the condition, management recommendations, and risk assessment for other family members. Although this goal is not always attainable (and sometimes a persons health condition is not caused by a problem with a single gene), improvements in genetic technologies have given us better and better tools with which to make a specific genetic diagnosis. Advancements in genomic medicine require us to continually innovate and evolve our clinical practice based on the most rigorous and reliable scientific evidence, so that we can facilitate the most effective genetic evaluations for a broad range of adults with concerns about hereditary conditions.

UNC Health contracts with most health insurance companies including, but not limited to, the ones listed here. While we do our best to keep this list up-to-date, it often changes. Professional fees charged by care providers and organizations who are not employed, owned or managed by UNC Health may not be included under the same insurance contracts and may bill separately. Before scheduling your appointment, please contact the organization or care provider in charge of delivering these services as they may be able to help you identify who will be providing these services. Your insurance company can help to determine which specific services, locations and providers are covered by your plan as well as provide you with information regarding co-payments, deductibles or any additional charges that may be your responsibility. UNC Health makes no representation or guarantee of benefits or coverage. Services not covered by your insurance company will be your responsibility.
