Have a Medical Question about Down Syndrome?
Go To Home Page I try to answer all my e-mail within a week of receipt; easy questions get answered faster than the hard ones.

Before you click on the e-mail link below, I have some comments for you to read first:
  • If you are a student writing a report on Down syndrome, check this page first. I'm sorry, but I cannot do "interviews" for school projects.
     
  • If you or a family member are pregnant and are worried about a blood test result or an ultrasound finding, please read this page on prenatal testing. I will not answer any questions about your individual blood or sonogram results; that is your obstetrician's job.
     
  • I cannot make individual diagnoses or treatment recommendations over the internet. I'm sorry, but that's just bad medicine. However, I am glad to share what information I have about Down syndrome and its related conditions.
     
  • And finally, if you have any concerns regarding confidentiality of your e-mail, see this page.
