What we offer:

Genetic Services Tailored to Your Needs and Goals

Unraveling mystery illnesses, determining hereditary disease risks and untangling complex pharmacogenomics, requires a Physician with a broad range of training.

Know your inherited risk before symptoms appear

Hereditary Disease Risk Assessment

We analyze your genetic markers to identify inherited conditions that may affect your long-term health, empowering you to take early, effective and targeted preventive actions.

Book a consultation

What's Required to Accomplish this Goal?

A Comprehensive Medical and Family history review

Investing in Whole Genome Sequencing *a once-and done process

Using AI-assisted analysis of an individual's genetic to personalize a risk reduction plan

Finding a Physician who understands that a person's genetics can be used to make the practice of Medicine safer and more precise.

Understand your hereditary cancer risk

Cancer Genetics

Numerous inherited DNA mutations significantly increase the risk for developing cancer. Knowing if your genetics place you at increased risk for Cancer can justify enhanced monitoring that might not be justifiable based on a "Family History" alone.

What's Required to Accomplish this Goal?

Limited testing for BRCA1/2 and Lynch syndrome testing can sometimes be justified (paid for by Medical Insurance) if a Family History meets the Insurance-required established criteria.

Testing of a person with a negative family history or no family history (an adopted or parent-estranged person) is not covered

Self-paid Whole Genome Sequencing by-passes all Medical Insurance hurdles and limitations

Genetic testing paid for "out-of-pocket" is personal and private information, DNA testing paid for by Medical Insurance is not.

Plan your family with confidence

Carrier Screening

Carrier screening identifies whether you carry a gene variant that could be passed to your children, helping you and your partner make informed family planning decisions.

Book a consultation

What's Required to Accomplish this Goal?

Insurance Coverage for "Carrier Screening" is not typically justifiable for persons without a supporting Family History of an affected sibling. *Cystic fibrosis, SMA, fragile X etc.

Pre-conception Carrier Screening for hidden recessive genes requires Whole Genome Sequencing paid "out-of-pocket"

Pre-conception Carrier Screening requires both potential parents to participate in Whole Genome Sequencing.

The right medication at the right dose — for you

Pharmacogenomics (PGx)

Pharmacogenomics testing reveals how your unique genetic makeup affects your response to medications, reducing trial-and-error prescribing and improving outcomes.

What's Required to Accomplish this Goal?

Determining drug metabolism gene-variants in the P-450 system

Determining the presence of drug transporter gene mutations

Determining applicability to 200+ commonly prescribed drugs

How it works

Your Path to Genetic Clarity

01

Book a Consultation

Schedule your appointment by phone. Dowload and complete the required paper work at home to expedite the "new Parient" in-take process

02

Meet Your Doctor

An broadly trianed and clinically experienced physician will discuss your family history, and your personal goals, to recommend the right genetic testing

03

Testing & Analysis

When Whole Genome Sequencing is the recommendation, a cheek swab is all that is needed.

04

Results & Next Steps

Most Physicians have neither the expertise nor the time to discuss genetics with their patients. Dr. Vaughn created Genetic Insights to fill that void

Take the First Step Toward Diagnostic Clarity

For those who have symptoms that have perplexed multiple doctors, your genetic code might a prove to be the the key to unlocking a reliable diagnosis
