Benign Hematology
Diagnosis and treatment of non-cancerous blood disorders including anemia and clotting disorders.
Overview
Not all blood disorders are cancer. Our hematologists also diagnose and manage benign conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, inherited and acquired clotting disorders, immune thrombocytopenia, and other non-malignant hematologic conditions.
We provide thorough diagnostic workups and evidence-based management to help patients understand and treat their blood disorder effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to see an oncologist for anemia?
A hematologist-oncologist can help when anemia is persistent, unexplained, or requires specialized evaluation. Many of our physicians are trained in both benign and malignant hematology.
What is a thrombophilia workup?
A series of blood tests to evaluate inherited or acquired conditions that increase your risk of blood clots, which helps guide treatment with blood thinners.
