WHAT IS IT?
Therapeutic phlebotomy involves removing a specified amount of blood to reduce the level of iron or the number of red blood cells in the body. It is the standard treatment for conditions such as hemochromatosis (iron overload) and polycythemia (excess red blood cells). The procedure is similar to a blood donation and is performed regularly according to your doctor's recommendations.
FOR WHO?
This service is for you if your doctor has prescribed therapeutic phlebotomies for the treatment of hemochromatosis, polycythemia, or another condition requiring a reduction in blood volume or iron levels.
HOW'S IT GOING?

The procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Eat a light meal and drink plenty of water before your appointment. Plan for a rest period after the procedure. The frequency of phlebotomies is determined by your doctor based on your blood results. The initial treatments may be closer together, then spaced out once your levels are stabilized.

I had an exceptional experience at the Nios Clinic! From the moment I arrived, I felt listened to and taken care of with professionalism. The team is warm, attentive, and truly takes the time to explain each step clearly. I recommend them for their humanity and professionalism.

Hello, I sincerely want to thank you for your exceptional service. You were remarkably quick and efficient, but above all, you took the time to provide me with truly personalized service. Your professionalism is immediately felt, but so is your human side, and that makes all the difference.
Chantal Dufresne
Very quick same-day appointment. Exceptional service from Nurse Practitioner (NP) Amélie and the staff at reception. She takes the time to listen carefully and makes referrals accordingly. Afterwards, ensures rapid orthopedics care and follows up to ensure I had the appointment. I highly recommend and will certainly return. More than reasonable costs.
