A blood disorder diagnosis can be scary and confusing. We are here to support our patients and their families during this stressful time.
Most first visits to our pediatric hematology clinic will start by meeting the care team, which can include:
During your first visit, you will meet with doctors and other members of the care team to discuss your child’s condition, symptoms and treatment options. You’ll have an opportunity to ask us any questions you have. Depending on the condition, we may also bring in specialists from other teams, including surgeons, stem cell transplant experts and radiologists.
Thanks to improvements in treatment, most patients with blood disorders now live long, healthy lives. We work with each patient and family to develop a treatment plan for that patient’s unique needs. Depending on the condition and the patient, treatments can include chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, blood transfusions and stem cell transplantation.
