I would like to be seen sooner. What can I do?

Q: I would like to be seen sooner. What can I do?

GHQ is a public health service and sees a large volume of patients. While we would like to see all patients as soon as possible, in most cases a waiting period will apply. GHQ clinicians triage referrals based on clinical urgency and the information provided in the referral. If your health or situation has changed, please discuss this with your treating doctor. If appropriate, an updated referral can be made or your doctor can contact GHQ directly. This does not guarantee that your triage category will change. You may also choose to see a private clinical geneticist or genetic counsellor. Please discuss this option with your treating doctor.
