Comprehensive Visits
What happens the day I come in for the comprehensive visit?
During your comprehensive visit, you can expect to be evaluated and treated by a team that includes:
- Hematologist
- Nurse
- Social Worker
- Physical Therapist
- Genetic Counselor
- Education Specialist (Pediatrics only)
- Nutrition Specialist (Pediatrics only)
Patients will also be made aware of any research opportunities that may be offered at our center. These are optional but may aid in future care of current and future patients living with bleeding or clotting disorders.
How long does a comprehensive visit take?
Due to the fact that you will be seen by our entire team, patients can plan on comprehensive visits taking approximately 4 hours.
What should I bring to my appointment?
All Patients should plan on bringing:
- Current insurance information, including your health insurance card(s).
- If uninsured, please apply for financial assistance.
- Name, address and phone numbers of your primary care physician and dentist.
