“Sharon took a very thorough family history, provided education and guidance to help me make a decision to move forward with genetic testing. She fully explained the test results and provided information to all my physicians to keep them informed. I would recommend Sharon to others. She was very supportive and kind during a stressful time for me.”

“Sharon was very knowledgeable about leading me through the process of getting the most information out of each gene entry, particularly about the evaluation of the references in ClinVar. She was very thorough, making sure I was familiar with one concept before moving on to the next.”

“Some months ago I had occasion to consult Sharon Altmeyer about the possibility of myself or one of my family carrying the Lynch Syndrome gene.  A nephew with stage four pancreatic cancer had just been diagnosed with it and we were advised to check ourselves.  From the start Sharon was a wonderful genetic counselor.  She was very thorough, very professional and kept us well informed along the way.  I would definitely recommend her and give her my highest rating.”
