Genetics provides comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis for adult and pediatric patients with potential genetic conditions. Our scope covers all genetic related concerns including prenatal genetics, cancer genetics, and referrals from our colleagues in general practice and organ-specific specialties such as cardiology, endocrine, neurology, renal, etc. We provide treatment and surveillance for conditions with genetic etiologies. These treatments include but are not limited to enzyme replacement therapy, enzyme substitute therapy, chaperone therapy, gene therapy, exon skipping medications, and dietary and medical food management for inborn errors of metabolism. We provide face-to-face outpatient services in Galveston and League City and inpatient coverage for our hospitals in Clearlake, League City, and Galveston.

Telehealth options are available as well. We have active participation in medical student, pediatric resident, maternal-fetal medicine fellow, physician assistant student, genetic counseling student, and breast surgical fellow education in the clinical setting, and participate in the education of medical students and physician assistant students during their basic science years.
