Complete Genetic Counseling, Screening, and Follow-Up Services in Maple Grove

Booking a genetic counseling appointment in Maple Grove allows early detection of potential inherited health risks, whether through regular health visits or during pregnancy care. Our screenings highlight any possible concerns and help us make a personalized plan for your well-being. We connect you with a genetic counselor in Maple Grove or a Maternal-Fetal Medicine partner in case the test results come out positive. After a careful review, we advise additional procedures like amniocentesis or CVS to give you precise answers and best treatment plans. 

This low-risk, safe, non-invasive prenatal genetic screening in Maple Grove examines fetal DNA in the mother’s blood to check for chromosomal changes like Down syndrome. The cfDNA is often available as early as 10 weeks, offering accurate insights and helping determine if diagnostic testing is required. 

If your baby has a missing or extra chromosome, such as trisomy 18 or Down syndrome (trisomy 21), that’s Aneuploidy. Through prenatal genetic screening in Maple Grove and additional diagnostic tests, we can detect these conditions early. After that, genetic counselors help families understand test results and find suitable treatment or care options. 

Hereditary health issues like spina bifida can hamper your baby’s brain or spinal development. Screening for these neural tube defects can involve blood tests or ultrasounds in your pregnancy’s second trimester. If present, the next steps may comprise imaging, counseling, and planning for delivery so that your baby receives focused care at birth. 

Structural differences in organs and limbs, such as the heart, face, or kidneys, are sometimes seen during mid-pregnancy ultrasounds. Catching them early helps coordinate care before and after your delivery. You get ample time to consult genetic counselors in Maple Grove and specialists for the baby’s needs.

Dr. Jacobs, Genetic Counselor Katie Douglass, Sonographer Andrea, and the nurse were all phenomenal to work with. Our diagnosis day was the toughest day of my life, but these women were so kind, compassionate, thorough, and made the day as smooth as it could have been.
