Our hematology services provide support for a wide range of blood disorders. We address anemia conditions, including iron-deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anemia, and anemia of chronic disease. Our team also specializes in the management of sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and hemolytic and aplastic anemia.

For clotting and bleeding disorders, we provide comprehensive care, including the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and the management of hemophilia, Von Willebrand Disease, and other hypercoagulable states. Our specialists are skilled in anticoagulation therapy management, including warfarin and DOACs, and treat conditions like immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and antiphospholipid syndrome.

We also manage white blood cell disorders such as neutropenia, leukopenia, and leukocytosis, as well as conditions like chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and myelodysplastic syndromes. Our expertise extends to blood cancers, including leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. For platelet disorders like thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis, and platelet function abnormalities, we provide diagnostics and treatment.

At every stage, we are dedicated to delivering compassionate care to improve quality of life and support better health outcomes for those living with blood disorders.
