VERDICT

Should I use Findageneticcounselor?

NSGC's directory for finding a genetic counselor - findageneticcounselor.nsgc.org

Worth it. Use it if you're a patient or family looking for a genetic counselor — it's the free, official NSGC directory that clinicians and hospitals themselves point to. If you're shopping for software, there is nothing here to buy.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 usable public sources; mostly third-party recommendations, not product reviews.

Best for

  • Clinicians referring patients
  • Students shadowing genetic counselors

  • Guess: patients outside the US; NSGC is American

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Counselor fees vary and aren't shown; confirm cost before booking a session

low

Listings coverage varies; some areas have few counselors, so telehealth may be needed

low

No SLA or support channel published — free tool, no service commitments

Pros and cons

Cons

  • Directory only — no counseling, booking, or medical advice included
