Getting tested for a genetic condition can be a sensitive process for individuals and their families, requiring a caring and knowledgeable expert to lead them through.
Newborn babies with congenital birth defects or children with developmental delay or autism might be affected with changes in their DNA that their parents, relatives, and offspring might be at risk for as well.
Dr. Mikail's role is to determine whether a genetic disorder exists in her patients by performing a comprehensive history and physical exam, ordering blood or other lab tests, and ordering radiological imaging if necessary. She then helps optimize her patients' and their families' health outcomes based on the latest evidence-based guidelines.
