Specialists in your area

Antiphospholipid syndrome can cross a number of medical disciplines and the type of specialist you see will depend on your symptoms; for example, you may see a neurologist if you have epilepsy or an obstetrician if you are pregnant, but usually, the type of doctor who specialises in APS is either a haematologist or rheumatologist.
