Specialty Clinics
Comprehensive care clinics for bleeding disorders, thrombosis, and thrombophilia
Gulf States Hemophilia and Thrombophilia Center (GSHTC) Comprehensive Care Clinic incorporates the concept of treating the whole person and their family by case management of the medical and psychosocial issues related to hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and other coagulation disorders. GSHTC patients receive continuity of care spanning from birth to adulthood with a range of services that address physical and emotional health and support in work, school, and family life. GSHTC’s expert multidisciplinary team includes hematology physician specialists, a wide range of nursing services, social work, physical therapy, dental services, genetic counseling, research, and pharmacy services.
While GSHTC bleeding-disorder patients have access to our multidisciplinary team every day, we offer an annual and biannual comprehensive clinic visit with the entire multidisciplinary team to evaluate the patient’s treatment plan and provide updated individualized recommendations from each multidisciplinary team member.
These are the pediatric clinics located at GSHTC:
Pediatric Thrombosis and Thrombophilia Clinic
Young Women with Bleeding Disorders Clinic
Pediatric Brain and Spine Thrombosis Clinic
Outreach clinic
For more than three decades, the GSHTC team of experts has traveled to the city of El Paso on a bi-annual basis to provide specialized care to local bleeding disorder patients in need. Our staff provides comprehensive care during a one-day clinic in partnership with local physician Roberto Canales, MD, and his support staff. The city of El Paso borders Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, as well as Las Cruces, New Mexico. Our Center is able to provide onsite evaluation by our adult and pediatric hematologists, social workers, physical therapist, genetic counselor, and dentists to nearly 100 local bleeding-disorder patients.
