A consultation may be requested either by a referring physician or directly
by a patient or patient's family. Please contact our program coordinator
at (319) 356-4324 to schedule a consultation with one of our physicians.
The physician seen will depend upon the disease, type of transplant potentially
needed, and availability of the physician. Dr. Frederick Goldman, director
of the program, will initially review the request and assign the appropriate
physician. The director may also approve telephone consultations as many
of our families are from out of state and the travel in quite an inconvenience.
The physician will need the following information to review for the consultation.
It is important that this information is provided prior to the appointment
so that the physician may review it and request any additional information
necessary.
- Summary history : A letter from the referring physician or clinic
detailing the current status of the patient, history of the disease,
any additional relevant information. This letter should be as
complete and thorough as possible and should also include a contact
person from the referring office in the event that any questions arise.
- Diagnosis or relapse slide : If the disease being treated is a malignancy
we prefer to review the actual biopsy slides ourselves.
- Specific treatment information : (for malignancies)
- Total Anthracyclines (m2>) (a type of chemotheraputic
drug).
- Radiation history including details of ports.
- Tissue typing information on patient and family (if available)
To schedule a consultation contact our program coordinator at (319) 356-4324. Call
Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.
