Therapeutic Phlebotomy Near You in Cincinnati, Fairfield, Liberty Township, and West Chester
What Is Therapeutic Phlebotomy?
Therapeutic phlebotomy is a medically directed procedure that removes blood from the body to reduce high levels of iron (as seen in hemochromatosis) or to lower hematocrit and blood viscosity in conditions like polycythemia vera or hormone replacement therapy.
At Inertia Medical, our providers perform therapeutic phlebotomy in a clinical setting for patients who need blood draws as part of ongoing management for chronic conditions — especially when insurance, access, or convenience issues make hospital-based phlebotomy impractical.

- Secondary Polycythemia from sleep apnea
- Polycythemia Vera
- Hereditary Hemochromatosis
- Iron Overload Syndromes
- Elevated Hematocrit Related to HRT
