What to know about Black Hematology care in New York
Sickle cell disease affects roughly 100,000 Americans, more than 90 percent of whom are Black (CDC). Despite affecting 1 in 365 Black births, sickle cell patients face documented undertreatment of pain in emergency departments and limited access to comprehensive care centers. Fewer than 40 of those centers exist nationally. Hematologists also treat iron-deficiency anemia (twice as common in Black women), inherited clotting disorders, and blood cancers like multiple myeloma, which disproportionately affects Black Americans.
Multiple myeloma is 2 to 3 times more common in Black than white Americans (Landgren, Blood), and Black patients experience longer diagnostic delays.

How do I find a Black Hematologist in New York, NY?
Use the search and filter tools on this page to browse Black Hematologists in New York, NY. You can filter by distance from a ZIP code, by telehealth, and by whether the Hematologist has confirmed they are accepting new patients.

Why does seeing a Black Hematologist matter?
Research consistently shows that racial concordance between patients and their care team is associated with better communication, greater trust, and improved health outcomes. Patients who share a racial or cultural background with their Hematologist often report feeling more understood and are more likely to follow through on care plans.
What should I ask a Hematologist before working with them?
Ask whether they are accepting new patients, what insurance they accept, and whether they offer telehealth or in-person visits. It is also worth asking about their experience with conditions relevant to you, their communication style, and how they handle after-hours questions or urgent concerns.
Do Black Hematologists in New York, NY accept insurance or Medicaid?
This directory does not yet record which insurance plans each Hematologist accepts, so the listings here cannot tell you. Contact the Hematologist directly to confirm your specific plan, including Medicaid or Medicare, is accepted before scheduling.
Is a Black provider the same as an African American provider on this directory?
Yes. Black Health uses Black and African American interchangeably to describe the same population of providers and patients, matching how people commonly search and self-identify. Both terms point to the same providers on this page.
