Knowing your risk before cancer develops is no longer out of reach. And it changes everything. ๐ธ
We offer genetic testing at our practice for exactly this reason.

A simple saliva or blood test can identify whether you carry gene variants linked to hereditary cancers... including ovarian, breast, uterine, colon, and others. The people who carry these variants but have not yet developed cancer are increasingly being called "previvors." And identifying them early is where prevention actually begins.
At the Society of Gynecologic Oncology's 2026 annual meeting, the presidential address focused on exactly this shift... from treating cancer to preventing it through broader access to genetic testing.
In the last 25 years, the cost of clinical genetic testing has dropped tenfold, and is now my recommendation for women seeking fertility counsling.
Here is what we offer:
- Genetic testing through Myriad myRisk
- Most insurance covers it if you meet the criteria
- Cash pay option available at $250
- Can be done in office or virtually
If you have a family history of cancer... or even if you do not... this is a conversation worth having.
Knowledge is the first step toward prevention.
