FAQ

How do I choose a hematologist in Durham?

Match the physician's listed specialty to the condition being treated and confirm adult or pediatric eligibility. Board certifications in hematology, internal medicine, or medical oncology can also help when comparing adult specialists.

Are clinical trials available for blood cancers in Durham?

The Duke Blood Cancer Center and Duke Hematologic Malignancies Clinic list clinical-trial access for conditions including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Eligibility depends on the diagnosis and trial requirements.

How much does a hematology appointment cost?

The amount varies by insurance, network status, consultation type, and testing or treatment provided. Check benefits with your insurer and ask the clinic about expected consultation and facility charges before scheduling.

Should I see a hematologist or go to the emergency department?

Routine evaluation of a blood disorder belongs with a scheduled hematology visit. Severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, chest pain, fainting, or other rapidly worsening symptoms require emergency evaluation rather than waiting for a specialist appointment.
