She was absolutely amazing, super professional and helpful and we really appreciate it.
Really good communication with Ailidh who provided really clear explanations in a professional manner. I appreciated the honesty, ethics and listening skills during that call and on such a difficult topic.

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I’m so pleased to hear that you felt well supported and that the explanations were clear and helpful, particularly for such a difficult subject matter. Please don’t hesitate to get back in contact if there’s anything else I can help with.
Ailidh is excellent. I'm a geneticist by training (but not a clinical geneticist) so basically I'm kind of a nightmare client. Ailidh perfectly hit the level of information I needed and wanted. She answered all of my questions, layed out information for me clearly and in a way that was easy to comprehend, and told me how follow-up would work. She listened to all my thoughts and concerns carefully and without judgement. Honestly, when I get my NIPT results back, I'd only want to talk to her.
Can't thank Ailidh enough for such a clear and compassionate conversation. Would definitely recommend her services.
Smooth appointment process, short wait time, and a professional doctor. No complaints. Had the genetic cancer test and checked for vitamin deficiency - was fast and easy, great location and great space. Thanks Ailidh for being so professional and patient with me
Ailidh is great at explaining the complexity of genetics
Ailidh was very friendly and explained the test easily
Very nice lady - she explained everything in a lot of detail and very not complicated
