What’s Pediatric Hematology?
Pediatric hematologists get years of medical education and training to help children with blood disorders and cancers. They diagnose, treat and manage blood-related diseases and conditions, including sickle cell disease, hemophilia, anemia, bleeding and clotting issues and more. Our pediatric hematologists from UT Health also participate in research studies and clinical trials to improve treatments.

Feel confident your child will get care from top pediatric hematologists who work with other pediatric experts to provide the best possible treatment. Your care team will include nurses and other health care professionals trained to work with children, adolescents and teens.
