Going to the Geneticist Next Week

It seems as though insurance is playing nice for once. We have an approval to go see a geneticist, though we don't have an approval for actual genetic testing yet. We have to do an initial consultation with the geneticist, then she will put in a referral for whatever genetic test Lynk needs done. Hopefully it will be approved. 


Lynk will be seeing Dr. Vidya Krishnamurthy in Alpharetta, Ga., next Wednesday, Oct. 26. It's about a 2 and a half hour drive from here, longer if we hit traffic in Atlanta, unless I can find a route that goes around Atlanta. It will definitely be a long day. But I did a little bit of research on Dr. Krishnamurthy, and she has some pretty impressive credentials...

"Dr. Vidya Krishnamurthy (‘Dr. V’) is Board Certified in Pediatrics and is a Fellow of The American Academy of Pediatrics. She completed her pediatric training at University of Massachusetts, Worcester, MA.

Dr. Vidya is also Board Certified in Medical Genetics and is a member of The American College of Medical Genetics. She completed her medical genetics training at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.

Dr. Vidya has over 12 years’ experience as a Pediatrician, practicing in Malaysia. She is also Board Certified in Pediatrics in UK and is a Member of The Royal College of Physicians, MRCP."

Wish us luck during the genetics appointment next week, as well as hopefully an approval for genetic testing!
