Deborah Wham, MS, CGC
Genetic Counseling
“My goal is to give each patient all of the information that he or she needs to make personal decisions regarding genetic testing and inherited diseases.
In 1993, I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. I then completed my master’s degree in Genetic Counseling at Northwestern University in Chicago.
I provide comprehensive genetic counseling services in multiple perinatal assessment centers and oncology clinics for both English and Spanish- speaking individuals. I also provide educational discussions and lectures to resident physicians, hospital staff and the community. I am certified by both the American Board of Genetic Counseling and the American Board of Medical Genetics.
I take special interest in adult-onset genetic diseases, genetics in primary care as well as screening and prevention of hereditary cancer.
