Simon J. Mcrae is a hematologist based in West Perth, WA, Australia. He works with people who have blood and clotting problems, from long-term bleeding conditions to issues where clots can form too easily.
In many cases, people see a hematologist because things aren’t quite right with how the blood behaves. This might mean they’re at risk of bleeding, getting bruises or skin marks, or having bleeding that takes longer than expected. At other times, it can be the opposite problem—blood clots in the veins can become an issue, even when there’s no obvious injury.
Simon helps look after patients with clotting conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Some people also come in with clot risks linked to atrial fibrillation. He also supports care for conditions that can affect clotting factors, including blood clot problems related to protein C deficiency, and other inherited clotting changes.
Bleeding disorders are another big part of his work. This can include haemophilia A and haemophilia B, von Willebrand disease (VWD), and rarer conditions such as congenital afibrinogenemia. People with low platelets, or thrombocytopenia, may also be assessed, especially if they’re dealing with ongoing bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding that won’t settle as expected.
There are also blood conditions where the picture is mixed or changes over time. For example, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is often watched carefully, with follow-up to make sure it doesn’t move into something more serious. Simon can help patients understand what monitoring looks like and what symptoms should trigger a review.
He may also support people dealing with unusual inflammation around the eyes and tear glands, including dacryoadenitis, and he can help connect the dots when symptoms point to an underlying blood-related cause like purpura.
Simon’s clinic is located in West Perth, which makes it easier for local patients and families to get steady care. If you’re managing a long-term condition, or you’ve had a clot and need ongoing planning, having clear guidance around blood health can make a big difference.
Overall, his focus is on practical, day-to-day management of blood conditions—so patients know what’s going on, what to watch for, and how treatment and follow-up usually work.
