Blood Disorders

Hematology appointments are scheduled as outpatient visits, which means your child will not stay overnight in the hospital. However, your child might occasionally require an inpatient admission or overnight stay. If an inpatient procedure or admission becomes necessary, our specialists will explain how long your child will have to stay in the hospital and where they will stay.

What should I expect during a typical visit to Hematology Clinic?
Each visit begins with a blood test, that provides samples for our pediatric pathologists to examine under a microscope. After your child's blood is drawn, their primary hematologist will conduct a routine physical examination.

We encourage you to use these visits to discuss any concerns you have about your child's health and to bring up any unusual symptoms that might indicate a health complication.

Your child's physician may also provide educational materials, such as seasonal tips on maintaining long-term care at home or information about a new medication prescribed to your child.
