What is the difference between a hematologist and a hematologist-oncologist?
A hematologist treats blood disorders like anemia and clotting problems, while a hematologist-oncologist also treats blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Most of the physicians listed at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute are board certified in both hematology and medical oncology.
Do any of these hematologists see pediatric patients?
No. All candidates listed treat only adults and specifically note that pediatric patients should seek care elsewhere. Families needing pediatric hematology should contact Atrium Health's pediatric specialists or Levine Children's Hospital.
Do these providers offer telehealth or virtual consultations?
Based on the available information, none of the listed providers offer virtual consultations; several explicitly note to avoid them if remote visits are needed. Patients should call the Levine Cancer Institute scheduling line to confirm current telehealth availability.
Which provider should I see for a bone marrow transplant referral?
Dr. Grunwald directs the Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Program, and Dr. Copelan serves on the executive committee of the Center for International Bone Marrow Transplant Research, making them the most directly relevant specialists for transplant evaluation.
Are these providers accepting new patients?
Drs. Voorhees and Mizrachi and PA Amy Varecka are confirmed to accept new patients at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute; new patient availability for the others should be confirmed by calling the clinic directly.
