I work with patients to educate them about genetics and genetic testing so they have the information they need to make an informed decision about getting genetic testing. We discuss family and personal history in a judgement-free environment and help facilitate testing once a decision is made.
I see patients in person in Mankato, Minnesota, and offer video visits for patients referred for genetic counseling at other Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
