Prof Andrew Grigg is a Haematologist, meaning he looks after blood disorders and the issues that come from them. He works out of Heidelberg in Victoria, with appointments at 11A Martin Street, Heidelberg VIC 3084.
Blood problems can show up in lots of ways. Some people come in because they feel tired all the time, get short of breath, or seem run down after simple activity. Others notice unusual bruising or bleeding, or they are dealing with ongoing anaemia. In many cases, the root cause is something to do with iron levels, how the body is making blood, or other blood cell changes that need careful checking.
Prof Grigg focuses on practical diagnosis and treatment. He uses blood tests to understand what is going on, then helps plan the next steps. If iron levels are low or not improving with tablets, he may recommend iron infusion. For some people who need more urgent support, management can also include blood transfusions, based on what the results and symptoms show.
When it comes to anaemia, he takes a calm, step-by-step approach. Anaemia isn’t just one thing, and it can have different causes. Over time, the goal is to get the levels back on track and help reduce symptoms, not just chase numbers. This includes looking at how the body is responding to treatment and adjusting the plan if needed.
Patients usually need someone who explains things in plain language. Prof Grigg keeps the conversation straightforward and grounded. He is comfortable working with people who are dealing with long-term conditions as well as those who are still figuring out what is happening.
His medical education includes training in haematology and blood medicine, which is the core area behind his work. While specific research details aren’t listed here, his day-to-day clinical approach is focused on safe, evidence-based care for blood disorders.
If you are looking for help with blood test results, iron infusion decisions, or ongoing anaemia management, Prof Grigg can help sort through the options. And if blood transfusions are being considered, he can talk through why they may be needed and what to expect next.
