Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone in the Triangle area may have stumbled across a good hematologist that they could recommend.  I hope to find someone that will agree that I need an iron transfusion.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
I don't know of a specific one in the Triangle, but I had the best luck going through a hematologist at the hospital's cancer center.  He's not the best with my OTHER labs, but he's good when it comes to getting my iron levels up.  He kind of dismissed me when I told him about all of the labs I'll be needing in the future.

But, eh, whatever... my PCP is great in that area.  I'll just use this other doctor for my iron infusions!  I had my PCP refer me to a hema, and that's how I got in.  I tried calling a few in the area to see if they would accept self-referral, but none would around here.

Best of luck!
Nic
