Ibrahim Esfahani-Tohidi is a hematologist based in Concord West, NSW. He looks after people with problems that involve the blood and how it clots. That can be anything from long-term blood disorders to issues that show up suddenly and need quick attention.
In many cases, care is about managing the balance between bleeding and clotting. Ibrahim works with patients dealing with clot-related conditions, including blood clots, thrombophlebitis, and even transient ischemic attacks (TIA). He also supports people with antiphospholipid syndrome, an autoimmune condition that can make the blood more likely to form clots.
He also sees patients with blood and platelet conditions. This can include thrombocytopenia, where platelet counts are low and bleeding can become more likely. At times, people come in with symptoms that are hard to explain at first, so careful check-ups and clear next steps matter. Ibrahim focuses on understanding what is going on in the blood work and how that links to the symptoms.
There are also some rarer conditions he helps with. This includes Scott syndrome and Stormorken syndrome, which are less common inherited blood-related disorders. For some patients, this may be about long-term planning and staying on top of day-to-day management, so things don’t get missed.
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is another area he helps with. It’s a type of blood cancer that affects certain cells and can change how the blood behaves. In these situations, Ibrahim aims to explain the situation in plain language and support patients through the testing, monitoring, and treatment decisions that come with this kind of diagnosis.
