Blood diseases: Hematologists specialize in diagnosing and treating blood diseases. Typically, a patient would be referred to a hematologist because of anemia, bruising, bleeding, or abnormal blood tests such as too many or too few white cells, red cells, or platelets. Your doctor should tell you why he referred you if you ask him.
