Our team of cancer-focused genetic counselors is the heart of the CGS. Everyone who comes through our clinic is assigned to a genetic counselor and is required to meet with them before meeting with one of our doctors.
This includes one-on-one consultations, family consultations, telemedicine consultations, and online previsit educational questionnaires.
