Which conditions are treated?
Which conditions are treated?
In my practice, I see a wide range of blood abnormalities — many of them are completely harmless, while others require more detailed evaluation or treatment. These include, for example:
- Anemias – e.g. iron-deficiency anemia or vitamin B12 deficiency
- Leukopenia – a reduced number of white blood cells
- Leukocytosis – an increased number of white blood cells
- Leukemias – malignant diseases of the white blood cells
- Lymphomas – tumors of the lymphatic system, e.g. Hodgkin lymphoma
- Plasma cell disorders – e.g. MGUS or multiple myeloma
- Thrombocytopenias or platelet function disorders – deficiency or dysfunction of platelets
- Blood coagulation disorders that may lead to thrombosis, embolism, or bleeding
- Coagulation disorders during pregnancy
Rapid evaluation of abnormal blood findings

blood findings
Many people feel great concern when a blood value is abnormal — especially when terms such as “leukemia” are mentioned. From experience, I know that in the majority of cases, the causes are harmless. This is why timely evaluation is particularly important: to reduce unnecessary anxiety — and to be able to act quickly if the situation is serious.
In my practice, I take particular time for these questions. I conduct a thorough medical history (including family history), also review previous findings, and — if necessary — arrange additional specialized tests in hematology reference laboratories. In this way, we avoid diagnostic errors and are able to make precise assessments.
My approach:
Professionally competent – humanly compassionate
Hematology is an often underestimated medical specialty — although it is of great importance for many patients. Unfortunately, there are very few specialists in this field. All the more important to me is to support my patients promptly, competently, and empathetically.
If further treatment is necessary, for example in a hospital setting, I use my professional network to establish direct contact with the best specialists. My goal is to help you quickly move out of uncertainty — and to provide clarity.
