About the practice
Hematology Oncology Specialists was founded by Austin J. Ma, M.D., a hematologist and medical oncologist trained at the University of Maryland Cancer Center. His idea was simple: specialist care should be available in the communities where patients live, so that a course of chemotherapy does not also mean months of long drives.
Today the practice has 11 physicians and 16 clinics, from the South Bay and the San Gabriel Valley through the Inland Empire to the High Desert, the Coachella Valley, Ventura County and Bakersfield. Every physician is board certified in hematology and medical oncology, and every office gives infusion on site.
We are a physician-owned practice. Decisions about your care are made by the doctor in the room with you.
