Margarita David, MD, MBA, FACMGG.

A Medical Geneticist evaluates children and adults with suspected or known genetic, hereditary, or metabolic conditions. At David Medical, we combine your symptoms, medical and family history, clinical findings, and genomic testing to help establish or clarify a diagnosis and develop an individualized plan of care.

A genetics evaluation may be helpful for rare or unexplained conditions, developmental or neurologic concerns, connective tissue disorders, hereditary cancer risk, cardiovascular or metabolic conditions, or a strong family history of disease.

We also evaluate patients who already have genetic testing and need expert interpretation or a second opinion.

Testing is individualized and may include:

• Whole genome or whole exome sequencing
• Hereditary cancer testing
• Cardiogenetics
• Neurogenetics
• Connective tissue disorder testing
• Metabolic and mitochondrial testing
• Pharmacogenomics
• Targeted genetic testing

Not every patient requires genetic testing. Your physician will determine whether testing is medically appropriate and which approach best fits your clinical presentation.

Choosing the right genetic test is an important medical decision. Your consultation helps us determine what should be tested, which testing strategy is most appropriate, and how the results could affect your medical care or your family.

This also helps avoid unnecessary, duplicate, or poorly targeted testing.
