What Are Phlebotomy Services?
 
Phlebotomy is the medical process of drawing blood for diagnostic testing or therapeutic treatment. At Real Nurturing Family Practice in Cypress, Texas, we provide both routine blood draws for lab testing and therapeutic phlebotomy to help manage certain health conditions. Our services are designed with your convenience, safety, and comfort in mind—whether in-office or through our mobile services.
 
Who Benefits From Therapeutic Phlebotomy?
 
Therapeutic phlebotomy is ideal for patients who need regular blood removal to treat or manage medical conditions such as:

• Elevated hematocrit levels (often related to testosterone therapy in men)

• Hemochromatosis (iron overload)

• Polycythemia vera and other blood disorders

By removing a measured amount of blood, therapeutic phlebotomy helps reduce the thickness or iron content of the blood, supporting overall cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of complications.
 
Our Phlebotomy Services Include:
 

• Diagnostic Blood Draws
  For lab testing, annual exams, and ongoing health monitoring

• Therapeutic Blood Draws
  For patients with conditions requiring blood removal for treatment (e.g., testosterone-related elevated hematocrit)

• Mobile Phlebotomy
  Can’t make it to the office? We offer home-based blood draws for your convenience
