hematologist
Blood disease doctor
A hematologist is a physician who specializes in diseases and disorders of the blood, blood-forming organs, and blood components.
This includes conditions like anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, hemophilia, and clotting disorders.
Hematologists often work closely with oncologists since many blood cancers fall under their expertise; some practitioners hold dual certification as hematologist-oncologists.
My doctor referred me to a hematologist after my blood work came back abnormal.
