    Patients with rare disorders are often misunderstood and not heard by the medical profession. I try to listen carefully to their story, in part to understand what they are going through and in part to try to recognize the condition they might have. I also want to provide them with a clear explanation of what condition they have and how to manage it so they can advocate for themselves. My clinical interests include inherited disorders and rare diseases of all sorts.|Why I Love My Work|I chose to pursue a career in medicine because I enjoy the science of medicine and seeing how that can be used to improve the lives of people. I initially chose to specialize in pediatrics because I enjoy working with kids. My interest in rare disorders and wanting to help patients and their families receive the best care possible led me to a career in medical genetics.|I enjoy the variety of conditions that work with and the satisfaction that comes from seeing patients move from a state of confusion about what condition they have to a sense of understanding of how it fits together and what to do next for their health.|Over the past nearly 20 years, I have been involved in health care administration within CentraCare. One of my enduring passions that emerged from this work is understanding the impact that the health care system and the community has on determining health, which is well beyond what is typically considered health care.|Getting To Know Me|Outside of work, I enjoy movies, reading, biking, and 3D printing. I am also engaged in community improvement work to try and improve the health of as many people as possible. Dr. Tilstra is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.

    My approach to care centers on truly listening. I believe that understanding each patient’s story helps me provide care that feels both personal and meaningful. My goal is for every patient to leave their visit feeling heard, supported, and confident in their care plan. I’m committed to practicing evidence-based medicine delivered with empathy, respect, and a whole-person perspective.|I have a special interest and background in genetics, caring for patients with a variety of genetic and inherited conditions. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families understand their diagnoses, access appropriate resources, and find clarity through education and support.|Why I Love My Work|I’ve always been drawn to helping others and knew early on that health care was where I belonged. I began my career as a nursing assistant and continued to grow through roles as an LPN and RN before becoming a nurse practitioner. Each step has strengthened my appreciation for the resilience of my patients and the importance of compassionate, individualized care.|I discovered my passion for genetics during my nurse practitioner training and quickly knew it was the right fit for me. The field challenges me to keep learning every day, as I help patients and families navigate complex conditions and uncover answers that can guide their care. The relationships I build with my patients — listening, learning, and walking alongside them — are what make this work so rewarding.A retired physician I once cared for told me, “The day you stop learning in medicine is the day you should quit.” His words have stayed with me and continue to guide my practice as a lifelong learner and dedicated clinician.|Getting To Know Me|I love taking my kids on adventures in every season — whether we’re hiking, biking, swimming, or running together. Outside of work, you’ll often find me enjoying the outdoors, exploring local trails, or spending time with family and friends. I’m also a big fan of Grey’s Anatomy and Friends, true crime podcasts, and — most importantly — ice cream and tacos.

    What is a geneticist?       

    A geneticist is a doctor who specializes in medical genetics. Medical genetics doctors study genes and how they affect health. They help diagnose and treat conditions caused by changes in a person’s genes. They work with people who have genetic disorders or inherited diseases and research ways to prevent or treat these conditions. Medical genetics specialists are trained to understand how genes play a role in health and disease. They work in hospitals, clinics, or research labs, and may focus on specific areas like cancer genetics or prenatal genetics.   

    What is the difference between a genetic counselor and a medical geneticist? 

    A genetic counselor helps people understand how their genes may affect their health. They often explain the risks of genetic conditions and help families make decisions about genetic testing. A medical geneticist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats genetic disorders. While both professionals work with genetics, their roles are different. Genetic counselors provide support and information, while medical geneticists focus more on diagnosing and treating genetic disorders. 

    There are several types of medical geneticists

    • Clinical geneticists work directly with patients to diagnose and manage genetic conditions. 
    • Molecular geneticists study genes at a molecular level, often in a lab setting. 
    • Biochemical geneticists focus on metabolic disorders caused by changes in genes. 
    • Cancer Geneticist: Specializes in genes related to cancer and helps patients understand their risk. 

    What is the difference between clinical genetics and medical genetics? 

    Medical genetics is the broader field that studies how genes affect health. Clinical genetics is a branch of medical genetics that focuses on diagnosing and treating people with genetic disorders. A clinical geneticist works directly with patients to find out if their symptoms are caused by genetic conditions and help them manage their health. Medical genetics includes research and lab work, while clinical genetics focuses on patient care, working closely with individuals and families affected by genetic conditions. 

    What tests does a geneticist perform?   

    A geneticist may perform a variety of tests to help diagnose genetic conditions. The specific tests will depend on your symptoms and family history. Common tests include: 

    • Blood tests: Used to analyze DNA or chromosomes for changes. 
    • DNA sequencing: Looks at the exact order of your genetic code to detect mutations. 
    • Chromosomal analysis (karyotyping): Examines the structure and number of chromosomes to find abnormalities. 
    • Biochemical tests: Checks for abnormal levels of proteins or enzymes that may indicate a genetic disorder. 
    • Prenatal genetic testing: Looks for genetic conditions in an unborn baby, often using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). 

    At your first appointment, expect the geneticist to ask detailed questions about your medical history and your family’s health history. They may perform a physical exam to look for any physical signs of a genetic condition. You’ll also discuss possible testing options and what they can reveal. The geneticist may explain the testing process, the potential results, and what steps you may need to take based on the findings. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and learn how genetic testing might affect your treatment plan or family planning decisions. 

    When should I see a Geneticist in Minnesota, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Geneticist in Minnesota, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Geneticists in Minnesota, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Geneticists in Minnesota, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Geneticist in Minnesota?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Geneticist search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Geneticist?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Geneticist in Minnesota, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Geneticist?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Geneticist may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Geneticists in Minnesota, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Geneticist search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Geneticist that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Geneticist search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
