Second Opinions for Pediatric Blood Diseases

Comer Children’s welcomes the opportunity to provide a second opinion on the diagnosis or treatment plan of your child’s blood disease or cancer. Our pediatric hematologists, oncologists and bone marrow (stem cell) transplant specialists are truly at the forefront of cancer care for children and can provide expertise to help guide your decision about treatment for your child.

Convenient Care With Minimal Hospitalization

At Comer Children's Hospital, we go to great strides to help our patients "be kids or teens" — despite having a blood disorder. One way we do this is by keeping hospitalization to a minimum. Whenever possible, children and teens receive blood transfusions and other treatment in our day hospital or outpatient clinic.
