There are very few metabolic genetics Drs in any given State.

Any advice on how to find one?

when this started I thought any geneticist should be able to handle it so I started making calls. I kept getting cancer geneticists. I finally got a hold of one and asked her. She told me. You had to have a referral. It took 4 months to get an appointment.

Major research hospital should have one that sees patients.

Any Doctor can order a genetics test. It doesn’t even need to be a Doctor. You just have to have a certain license number (can’t think of it at the moment)

But I have found that Doctors would rather a geneticist do it if possible.

There is an inexpensive way to get a whole exome test of your body with www.nebula.org. I am probably going to do that even though interpretation will be challenging.

Invitae Genetics has some panels paid for by drug companies if you meet certain criteria.
