Receiving a pediatric genetic diagnosis often brings distress, uncertainty, and fear. Genetic counseling offers families clarity on inheritance, recurrence risk, prognosis—and, critically, a path forward with informed choices.

Role of Genetic Counseling:
At its core, genetic counseling interprets complex genomic data into understandable terms. It covers how a disorder is inherited, what it means for a child’s future, and what options parents have—be it prenatal testing, reproductive planning, or tailored treatment strategies.

Dr. Mathur’s Expertise:
With credentials from SGPGI Lucknow, and experience across global centers, Dr. Mathur combines scientific precision with empathy. His sessions feature illustrated genetic maps, emotional support, and customized guidance based on cultural, social, and familial contexts.

Family-Centric Care:
Counseling extends beyond data—it addresses psychological well-being. Dr. Mathur helps families process emotions, connects them with peer support groups, and ensures they feel confident, not overwhelmed.

Informed Decision-Making:
Couples considering future children learn risk percentages and reproductive options—such as IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), prenatal diagnosis, or carrier screening. This empowers them to make decisions aligned with their values and needs.
