Comprehensive Hematology Team
Attending Physicians
Attending Physicians are doctors who have completed medical school, a residency specializing in pediatric medicine and a fellowship specializing in Hematology. Attending Physicians are responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of your child. In addition to providing medical care, Attending Physicians also have university teaching responsibilities. Attending Physicians are on call 24 hours a day.
Nurse Practitioners
Nurse Practitioners are registered nurses with advanced, master's degree training. After your child has been diagnosed by the Hematology team, your child will most often be seen by a Nurse Practitioner who specializes in Hematology and who works in collaboration with the Attending Physician.

Fertility Issues in Pediatric Hematology Treatment (PDF)
Infertility, or the inability to have children, is a side effect of some hematologic therapies. Even though your child's future fertility may not be a concern at this time, there are ways to help protect their chances to have children in the future. This booklet provides information on infertility risks for different diseases and treatments and options to help save fertility that are available at LPCH and the surrounding area.
