Pregnancy & Hematology Clinic

The GW Medical Faculty Associates, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Department of Hematology & Oncology, cater to your health needs. We are welcoming preconception, pregnant, or post-partum women with specific blood or hematologic conditions that are inherited or acquired to receive specialized care by Dr. Robert Siegel (Hematology). We offer multi-disciplinary exceptional care in an innovative fashion.
