A member asked:

Being sent to medical center for genetic counseling, what kind of doctor does that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Website: Go to www.Genome.Gov and on the right side scroll down to "genetic disorders faq" and click on it for a pretty complete reference site. In the list on the left pick "faq about genetic counseling". You may get there directly by going to: www, genome.Gov/19016905.
