Confidential. Professional. Fully Remote.

Access to leading medical genetics expertise without NHS wait times, without travel, and entirely from the comfort of your home.

At Schell Genetics, every consultation is conducted face-to-face with Dr Chayim Schell-Apacik – not in a clinic, but over a secure video call using Zoom. Whether you're at home, at work, or somewhere in between, you can speak with a medical genetics expert in a space where you feel safe and comfortable.

There’s no need to travel. No long waiting lists. And no rushed appointments. Just the time, care, and clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health or your family’s wellbeing.

What Happens During a Genetic Consultation?

You might be worried about a health condition in your child, concerned about a pattern of illness in your family, or unsure about a result from a test you've already done. Perhaps you're planning a pregnancy and want to understand your options.

Whatever brings you here, the consultation begins with listening. Dr Schell-Apacik will take the time to understand your questions, go through your medical and family history with care, and guide you through what might be going on. If genetic testing could help, you'll receive clear, honest advice, including what kind of test may be appropriate, how much it might cost, and what it could and couldn’t tell you.

There is never any pressure to go forward with testing. Some people choose to wait. Others decide not to test at all. That’s absolutely fine. This is about giving you control, not making decisions for you.

Why Is a Consultation Needed First?

Genetic testing isn’t something to take lightly. There are many types of tests, and choosing the right one depends entirely on your unique story. That’s why a consultation is essential – to make sure the testing is meaningful, appropriate, and focused on the questions that matter most to you.

This approach helps avoid unnecessary costs, protects you from confusing or irrelevant results, and gives space to talk about the impact testing might have – both medically and emotionally.

What Will You Receive?

After your video consultation, you will receive a personalised Medical Genetics Report outlining the main topics discussed, relevant findings, and – if applicable – any agreed testing plan. Follow-up appointments can be arranged if needed. Everything is tailored to you and handled with care.
