Hemophilia is a lifelong condition that begins at infancy. When a child experiences a bleed or injury, it can put them at risk for developing painful joint conditions. That’s why you need a team of hemophilia and orthopedic specialists you can count on.
Our treatment team brings together healthcare experts from different specialties from hematology to orthopedic surgery, and social work to physical therapy.

Hemophilia can cause many symptoms, including:
Hemophilia is often diagnosed soon after a baby is born. For example, if you have a family history of hemophilia, your child might be tested right away. Or a test might be run if your child is showing signs of excessive bleeding after circumcision.

Diagnosis usually involves screening a child’s blood and running some special tests.
At LuskinOIC, our multidisciplinary treatment team includes hematology, orthopedic surgery, physical therapy and social work. We recognize that it’s critical to treat the whole patient, not just the disease.
Together, we’re able to provide the highest quality care to children and adults of all ages who have hemophilia or other bleeding disorders.

Knowing how to manage health needs—from assistance at school (or work) to treatment for sudden bleeding—will be critical for staying healthy. Also, knowing how to cope with challenges and advocate for yourself or your child can boost your confidence.
The LuskinOIC Orthopaedic Hemophilia Treatment Center (OHTC) is here to help you and your child every step of the way.
At LuskinOIC’s Orthopaedic Hemophilia Treatment Center (OHTC), we set the standard in treating hemophilia joint and limb issues. In 1970, OHTC was designated by the World Federation of Hemophilia as one of the first four International Hemophilia Training Centers.
We’ve consistently been pioneers for our patients: we were the first comprehensive care center on the West Coast, we performed the first successful hip replacement surgery in a patient with hemophilia, and through clinical trials we have been providing the newest treatments available.
In addition to treatment, we conduct groundbreaking research, provide innovative and personalized physical therapy, and offer genetic counseling for patients and their families.
