Hematology
 |
Hematology is a distinct subspecialty of internal medicine, separate from, but often overlapping with the subspecialty of Medical Oncology. It is the field of medicine which manages the diseases associated with the blood and the blood-forming organs. Blood disorders can affect the production of blood and its components such as blood cells, blood proteins, and the mechanisms of coagulation. CJOC’s physicians are hematologists, as well as oncologists. Members of various international societies devoted to the study of hematology, including the American Society of Hematology, our physicians treat patients with various hematologic diagnoses. Among those we treat are Anemia, ITP, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Lymphoma and Leukemia, along with clotting and other blood disorders. CJOC offers many hematology-related services in the comfort our offices, such as:
- Common lab tests such as CBCs and PT (INR)
- Bone marrow biopsies
- The monitoring of blood clotting for patients on anticoagulants through our coumadin (warfarin) program
- Intravenous infusions of iron for patients with iron deficiency anemia
All of the physicians and nurse practitioners in our office are committed to maintaining excellence in care for patients with both oncology and hematology-related diseases. |

A hematologist is a physician who has trained in internal medicine and has further advanced training in hematology. Seeing a hematologist does not necessarily mean that you have cancer, although hematologists are also trained in the diagnosis and management of cancers of the blood system.
