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.

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.

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

Ms Watson was excellent and spent a lot of time going through our family history. Didn't end up doing the test after the explanation which saved us a lot of money
