Let’s work together to make personalized genetic medicine a reality for all patients.

For Physicians Seeking Testing Services

• Helping You Getting Started. You are short on time and may have questions. We’re here to  help you find the right tests and assist you with ordering; you can speak with one of our geneticists or physician specialists about the appropriateness of certain tests and how to use them in the clinical setting.
• Comprehensive Reporting Services. And when the results are in, we won’t leave you to have to figure it out on your own. You will receive detailed and meaningful clinical reports of test results through GeneInsight Clinic®; genetic counselors and geneticists are available to answer your, and your patients, questions.
• Keeping You Up-to-Date. Things change fast in the world of genetics with new variants detected regularly as the database of testing data grows. Not to worry - you’ll be kept informed if new information emerges on variants identified in patient profiles through the GeneInsight Clinic® platform.
• Integration with EHR. At your fingertips where you need it – if you’re in the Partners HealthCare system, your patients’ test results are available in the electronic health record.
