Patient Information

We are a telehealth practice.  This means all evaluations are conducted via an  audio/video HIPPA compliant program.  Our office will  guide you through the process. All correspondence between the patient and the office is done via our portal/electronic medical record program or by phone/fax.

 

An evaluation with our practice includes medical history, family history, physical exam, genetic testing/other lab tests (if needed) and  interpretation of lab results. If you are diagnosed with a genetic disorder,  Dr. Sorrentino will also write a medical plan for your doctors and continue to manage your medical care. Genetic counseling is provided as needed.

​

The patient must be present at all visits. 

​

Please supply records of all specialist evaluations, imaging studies ( e.g., x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, sonograms etc.), genetic testing/lab/biopsy before  your visit. 

​

At the time of the visit, you will be expected to provide a medical history for the patient, his/her parents and grandparents. This is referred to as a family history.  

​

Please be advised that genetics consultations are time consuming. Expect that your appointment will last 45-60 minutes or longer.  

​

​

​

Per federal and state regulations, genetic testing requires the consent of a competent adult and/or legal guardian of a minor child/special needs adult.

​

Proof of guardianship and court orders affecting parental rights must be provided before the appointment for both evaluation and genetic testing.

​

Please check with your insurance company to determine whether labs ordered or referrals made will be covered/are in network.
