Refer a Patient
A telephone call from your physician is required in order to make an appointment at Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers. During this phone call, your child's case is discussed and it is decided how soon the patient should be scheduled for an appointment. This conversation also helps to determine what laboratory tests will be necessary at the time of the visit.
New patients must have their referring physician contact us
at 1-800-CANCER9 (1-800-226-2379)
Once a referral is obtained, the Referral Coordinator will call the parents to arrange their child’s appointment at our Medical Center or West Campus location. The parents may also call to make their appointment by calling our SHARE Desk at 832-822-4240.
