About Tessa Rootenberg, M.S.
I have always been fascinated by stories about people; in particular, by the unique ways that our DNA and diverse life experiences help to shape who we are. This perspective led me to the field of Genetic Counseling. As a genetic counselor, I am passionate about translating the complexities of genetic information so that families can make informed decisions about their healthcare. My areas of interest include the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders, cardiovascular genetics, and X and Y chromosome variations.
I am delighted to be part of a team that leads with empathy and prioritizes exemplary patient care.
