"Why did my doctor flag my platelets?"
Your PCP circled a number in red and said "see a specialist." Now you're home, staring at a printout, and Google is not helping.
The number is below the normal range
Your doctor used the word "thrombocytopenia"
You have a follow-up in six weeks — but you need answers now
A platelet count of 68 has a differential diagnosis — not a death sentence.
Low platelets (thrombocytopenia) have dozens of causes — most of them benign and treatable. A hematologist reads your full CBC in context: your MPV, your RBC morphology, your medications, your history. In 20 minutes, we can narrow the likely cause and tell you exactly what the next step is.
Hema hematologists review your actual report, not a summary.
Diagnosis starts with your history and your labs — both of which exist before you ever sit down.
Hematology is one of medicine's most lab-driven specialties. Your CBC, peripheral smear, iron studies, B12, and coagulation panel tell most of the story before your hematologist says a word. Video removes the waiting room, not the clinical rigor.

"Can a hematologist really diagnose me over video?"
You've been told you need a "real" appointment. You've been told telemedicine is for colds. Your hematology concern is not a cold.
"I was diagnosed with ITP via telehealth. My platelet count was 12. My hematologist ordered a bone marrow biopsy at a local facility and managed my steroids remotely. I never had to drive three hours."

ITP patient, rural Montana
"What happens if I need a bone marrow biopsy?"
This is the question that keeps people from booking. The fear that "serious" means "you need to be in a hospital city."
Conditions we manage remotely:
Most patients never need one. Those who do, we coordinate locally.
85% of hematology cases are diagnosed and managed without a biopsy. When one is needed, we work with your nearest pathology facility — you don't travel to us.

What patients say after their first appointment
I drove 3 hours to a specialist twice. With Hema, I've had four appointments in the same time — and my MDS is actually being managed now.
James Whitfield
MDS patient, rural Wyoming
My INR was unstable for 18 months. My Hema hematologist found a drug interaction my cardiologist missed. One video call.
Patricia Nwosu
Anticoagulation patient, Mississippi
I had 11 flagged labs and a six-week wait to see a specialist. Hema got me in on Tuesday. By Thursday I had a diagnosis.
