Dr Tripathi is so approachable. Clearly very knowledgeable in her field, she is so caring and you have all the time you need. She finds out all the detail and discusses options clearly. I went back to her 2+ years after my initial consultation with changes in my health and she genuinely cared about how I was and helped me find the way forward that suited me. Thank you so much.

I found Dr. Tripathi to be an extremely knowledgable and caring consultant. Going through genetic testing can be a scary thing so having someone who can explain the science and the implications of the tests as well as ensure you are counselled to take the right decision for you is really important - I felt in very good hands with Dr. Tripathi on all these accounts. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. I really appreciate it.
I had been in a stressful situation and needed to get my gene tests done rather urgently. I found Dr Tripathi to be extremely kind and understanding but also super knowledgeable and efficient. She helped me get my answers in time and explained the technical details of my results very well. She was very calming for both myself and my husband and I would highly recommend her to anyone else needing genetics testing.
Thank you for taking the time to give me this feedback. It is much appreciated. Best wishes.
