By your side to understand and treat blood disorders
Hematology is a medical specialty focused on diseases of the blood and the immune system. It covers disorders related to red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, as well as coagulation mechanisms (bleeding or clot formation).
Has your general practitioner referred you to a hematologist in Geneva? Rest assured, hematology addresses many situations, most of which are benign. While we are trained to manage serious conditions, the majority of consultations concern common disorders that simply require a specialist’s opinion and appropriate follow-up.

When should you consult a hematologist?
Assessment of anemia or persistent fatigue
Anemia may be a sign of an imbalance in the production or loss of red blood cells. A hematological assessment helps identify the cause and guide appropriate care.
Coagulation disorders (bleeding, unexplained bruises, thrombosis)
Unusual bleeding or the formation of blood clots may reveal a coagulation disorder. A thorough blood test helps determine the cause and prevent complications.
Monitoring of benign hematologic disorders
Some blood abnormalities, although not serious, require regular follow-up to monitor their progression over time.
Follow-up of malignant hematologic disorders
Blood cancers (such as leukemias, lymphomas, or myelomas) require close coordination between specialists to ensure personalized follow-up, based on the most recent therapeutic advances.
Pre-treatment or pre-surgery assessment
Before certain treatments or surgeries, a blood assessment may be needed to check for risks of bleeding or complications and to ensure the best possible care.
Pregnancy and hematologic disorders
Pregnancy is a unique and precious time. Our experienced team provides specialized care for hematologic conditions, offering you support and expertise every step of the way.
Myelogram
A myelogram is a test where a small sample of bone marrow is taken, usually from the breastbone (sternum) or hip bone (iliac crest). This helps doctors understand how your blood cells are being produced.
Bone marrow biopsy
A bone marrow biopsy involves taking a very small sample of bone tissue containing marrow, usually done together with a myelogram. This helps doctors study both the bone structure and how the marrow is organized.
