Services & Programs

General Genetics Clinic

Our clinic is designed to assist you and your family in navigating the world of genetics medicine. We provide information and support to help you make informed decisions about your health and the health of your family. We see patients of all ages with suspected or known genetic conditions, discuss the potential use of genetic testing, and provide genetic counseling regarding a confirmed diagnosis. We are also able to see patients both in-person and virtually depending on the reason for the visit.

Genome Clinic

For children from 6 months through 13 years of age who have a diagnosis of autism, developmental delay, or intellectual disability, we can conduct online screening to determine if genetic testing using whole genome sequencing is an appropriate starting point. This can significantly reduce the wait times for children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Craniofacial Program

Within the WCM Craniofacial Clinic, we collaborate with colleagues from ENT and other specialty departments to provide a multidisciplinary approach for children and young adults with abnormalities of the head and neck - especially those with craniosynostosis, cleft lip and cleft palate.
