Berrin Monteleone, MD

I come from a family of doctors, and my decision to become one myself was largely driven by the values my family instilled in me. I developed a love for math and science in elementary school and knew very early on that medicine was the career for me. I first became a radiation oncologist and then chose a career in medical genetics to focus on the identification of patients with high-risk for disease.

I have had the opportunity to care for different age groups of patients with many different genetic conditions. I help people achieve the highest quality of life, despite a variety of challenges acquired from birth. I have experience with a wide spectrum of genetic conditions, but primarily focus on rare diseases and syndromes, including congenital anomalies, heart diseases, and brain disorders. I see children, adults, and families, and enjoy providing personalized care to patients with complex disorders.

My experience with general and specific concepts in genetic evaluations and treatments enables me to teach students, residents, and fellows. I provide them with the necessary skills for evaluating and investigating specific concepts for clinical care. I have maintained a passionate commitment to patient care and share this passion as an academic teacher and faculty member.

My team and I provide a full range of diagnostic, consultation, counseling, and treatment services to children and adults with known or suspected genetic disorders. We provide support, coordinated care with other physicians, and open communication, to meet patients’ medical and emotional needs.
