Thrombosis and Hemostasis Program

The Thrombosis and Hemostasis Program (THP) offers specialty evaluation and management of patients with abnormal blood clots and blood clotting abnormalities.  Our team of physicians and nurses is dedicated to treating individual patients and families, as well as advancing knowledge through research in this field.  The largest clinical area includes evaluation and management of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus, assessment of risk factors for these disorders, and use of that information to make long term treatment plans. Research efforts are directed toward improvement of patient outcomes, expanding our understanding of clotting mechanisms, and evaluation of interventions used in management of acute and chronic thrombosis.   Teaching responsibilities are dedicated to helping future physicians, and physicians in training  provide state-of-the-art care to their patients
 
The THP staff have extensive experience in all aspects of thrombosis disorders and are recognized nationally and internationally for their clinical and research efforts.  In addition to providing regular educational opportunities for providers in Northern New York and Vermont, they participate in national and international conferences and serve on a variety of regional, national and international medical science organizations.
