Dr. Melissa Sathyan

Our 8-day-old newborn displayed mysterious seizures that baffled the NICU team. Dr. Sathyan's rapid whole exome analysis identified a rare potassium channelopathy. Her emergency genetic intervention and customized medication protocol stopped the seizures within 48 hours, saving our daughter's neurological development.

A 19-year-old college athlete suddenly developed cardiac arrhythmias during training. Dr. Sathyan diagnosed catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia through genetic testing and created a personalized management plan that allowed safe return to modified athletic activities with implantable monitor protection.

After three generations of unexplained stillbirths in our family, Dr. Sathyan's preimplantation genetic testing identified a previously unknown autosomal dominant mutation. Her guidance through IVF with genetic screening resulted in our first healthy pregnancy and ended our family's tragic pattern.

My 45-year-old husband developed rapid cognitive decline that was misdiagnosed as early Alzheimer's. Dr. Sathyan discovered it was actually Wilson's disease through genetic analysis - a treatable condition. Copper chelation therapy reversed most symptoms, giving us our life back.

As a 72-year-old retired botanist with unexplained progressive neuropathy, Dr. Sathyan's whole genome sequencing revealed a rare mitochondrial mutation that had eluded specialists for years. Her targeted treatment plan not only halted deterioration but restored 40% of my sensory function within months.
