If your child or teen has a blood disease or cancer, a Pediatric Hematologist/Oncologist has the experience and qualification to evaluate and treat your child or teen. Children and teens are not just small adults. Their bodies are growing and have unique medical needs. They usually express their concerns differently than adults do. They cannot always answer medical questions, and are not always able to be patient and cooperative. Pediatric hematologists/oncologists know how to examine and treat your children and teens in a way that makes them relaxed and cooperative.
