  • hemophilia: a condition that prevents your blood from clotting
  • leukemia: a type of cancer that affects your blood cells
  • lymphoma: a type of cancer that affects your lymph nodes and vessels
  • thalassemia: a condition affecting hemoglobin production
  • sepsis: an infection in your blood that can cause organ failure

  • complete blood count: a test that helps your doctor diagnose and monitor diseases

  • bone marrow transplant: a stem cell transplant that replaces diseased cells with healthy ones
  • ablation therapy: a procedure that uses various therapies to destroy damaged tissue

When should I go to a hematologist?

 Chevron Icon

Most first visits to a hematologist start with a referral made by your primary care physician (PCP). There are several reasons why your PCP may refer you to a hematologist, including low red blood cell counts, blood clot complications, blood infections, or the development of certain cancers.

What can I expect during my first hematologist appointment?

 Chevron Icon

Your hematologist often partners with other specialists and doctors to provide you with the care you need. Throughout your treatment, you may see a combination of specialists and doctors as they work together to provide your care. This may include oncologists, internists, and your primary care physician.

During your first visit, your hematologist may have blood samples drawn and sent to labs where technicians will evaluate the samples for diseases, blood and platelet count, and more. Your hematologist may also recommend additional tests or procedures and will counsel you on your options for a treatment plan.
