Pediatric Genetics
Our pediatric geneticists understand how to evaluate a child’s condition, outline treatment options, and explain what the future may hold in store for the family.
Your child’s growth and development is guided by genetics – the genes inherited from both parents. While most children enjoy a normal development, there are some hereditary conditions that may benefit from genetic screening, testing, and treatment. Pediatric geneticists can help you understand your child’s condition, underlying causes (if known), and how to manage the effects and symptoms.
Our pediatric genetic experts from Holtz Children’s Hospital and the University of Miami Health System specialize in providing comprehensive diagnosis, management, and treatment for genetic conditions. We use a compassionate, family-centered approach to give you and your child the care and support you need.
Our specialists have immediate access to leading-edge research, innovative treatments, and procedures that aren’t as readily available at other facilities. Our team uses the latest technologies and research findings to give your child personalized care.
