Finding an MPN specialist can feel daunting since they're a relatively small group, but they're out there! MPN specialists are most commonly found at major cancer centers and medical institutions.

Here are some helpful ways to locate one:

- Ask your current oncologist — If your oncologist doesn't specialize in MPNs, they can likely refer you to one
- American Society of Hematology — Their online database helps locate hematologists with a clinical interest in MPNs
- MPNforum — Publishes a list of MPN professionals in the U.S. and worldwide, organized by location
- MPN Research Foundation — A national organization dedicated to MPNs that can provide guidance

Once you find a specialist, ask if telehealth visits are an option, especially if they're far from where you live. Many specialists are happy to do follow-up appointments virtually.

Even seeing an MPN specialist just once can be incredibly valuable — they can confirm your diagnosis, review your risk factors, and help map out a treatment plan that your local oncologist can then manage day-to-day.
