Prenatal Genetic Counseling

The Emory Perinatal Center offers comprehensive prenatal care for high-risk pregnancies and provides recommended ultrasound monitoring throughout pregnancy. Our Genetics team comprises three board-certified prenatal genetic counselors, supported by a genetic counseling assistant, who deliver expert care in both prenatal and preconception settings. Our genetic counseling services encompass preconception carrier screening, risk assessment based on family history, guidance on prenatal screening options including aneuploidy and carrier screening, and discussions surrounding diagnostic testing in cases of abnormal ultrasound findings or positive family history. We offer appointments both in-person and via telehealth, tailored to individual needs and referrals.
