A genetic specialist or geneticist is a doctor who has specialised in genetics. A genetic counsellor has studied genetics and counselling but does not have a medical degree.
The geneticist can diagnose genetic conditions. The genetic counsellor can explain genetic diagnoses and the implications of the diagnosis and assist people in making choices that work for them.
