If you have recently moved to Tampa Bay area or have graduated from a pediatric clinic and need to establish care with a hematologist, we have the expertise and resources to help you.

Thank you for planning to attend our hematology & comprehensive hemophilia treatment clinic at USF. Comprehensive clinic may last several hours but the information and care you gain is worth the time you spend in our clinic. Since your appointment may last a couple of hours, please bring a magazine, book or toys for children just in case there is a gap of time in between medical providers. If you cannot attend your appointment, please let us know so we can schedule someone else who may be on the waiting list. 

This handout summarizes the role of the care providers you may see in clinic and gives you an idea of how your appointment will go. 

Upon arrival, you will need to stop at the front desk for registration (insurance, contact information, consent forms and to update any change in name or address).

Please bring either an updated list of medications you are taking or bring the actual medication bottles with you if, you prefer.
