Well, he definitely listens to everything that you are concerned about and make sure to address it. I had a lot of referrals and he went through each every one of them. And also spoke about the options and risk very carefully without an opinion. He made me feel comfortable and yet also made me feel that all of my medical issues were being taken very seriously and looked at carefully to prevent any future problems.

Dr. Symonds and his team are outstanding! All are knowledgeable, kind, and patient-focused. I am so glad that I discovered this medical geneticist searching online. He is able to take my Invitae genetic test results a step further and offer additional potential medical diagnoses. Many, many thanks to Claudia Pham CMA and Alexa Cook genetics counselor as well!!
