Sickle Cell Disease: Why Choose Us?

Team Approach

Blood disorder specialists (hematologists), many with advanced fellowship training, guide your care. They stay current with the latest sickle cell disease research, so you receive the best available therapies. Hematologists help you access additional services when necessary, including services from ophthalmologists, orthopedic surgeons, transfusion medicine doctors and more.

Lifelong Care

Sickle cell disorder is with you for life — and so is our team. We build lasting relationships with patients, enabling us to anticipate your needs and coordinate services to meet them. We take time to get to know you and your care preferences, so we can tailor your therapies.

24/7 Access to Therapies

Sickle cell crises can occur when you least expect them. Our team is easy to reach and helps you receive the care you need promptly. You may be eligible for same-day or Saturday infusions. Our nurse navigator coordinates the services you need during business hours. And there’s always a hematologist on call in the evening and on weekends.
