Outpatient
If you or your child were to be seen as an outpatient, arrangements will be made for you or your child to come to the clinic to be seen by a doctor who has knowledge on rare conditions, particularly genetic disorders. Review by other members of the multidisciplinary medical team will be arranged as needed. You will be advised on the cost of the consultation. Investigations such as genetic testing, whole exome sequencing or whole genome sequencing may be offered depending on the doctors' assessment after the consult. The costs of these investigations are not included in the consultation fee.
