Vivien M. Chen is a hematologist based in Concord, NSW. She works from Gate 3 Hospital Road, Concord, where she helps adults with blood and clotting problems, and with conditions that can affect blood counts.
Many people see her because of low platelets, where the blood does not clot as well as it should. This can show up as easy bruising, bleeding gums, or tiny red or purple spots on the skin. In many cases, she looks at adult immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and helps manage ongoing thrombocytopenia so patients feel steadier and safer day to day.
She also works with people who have blood clots. That can include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and venous thromboembolism (VTE). At times, she may be involved in care for conditions linked to clotting, like antiphospholipid syndrome. Her role is to check what is going on with the blood, understand risks, and guide treatment that fits the situation.
Beyond platelets and clots, she supports patients with other blood-related conditions. This can include immune and bleeding disorders such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and hemophilia A. Some patients also have cancers that affect blood and immunity, including B-cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. She may also be part of care when people are dealing with serious illnesses where blood results and clot risks matter, such as sepsis, stroke, or complications after surgery like splenectomy.
Vivien’s profile lists her as a hematologist, but it does not include details on years of experience, education history, research work, or any specific clinical trials. If you want, you can ask the clinic about her background and what to expect for your appointment.
