What Parents Can Find on Hemangioma Treatment (hemangiomatreatment.com)

Hemangioma Treatment is the website of the Hemangioma & Malformation Treatment Center, a clinic focused on hemangiomas, vascular malformations, and vascular birthmarks in children. If you are a parent researching a diagnosis or planning a first visit, the site is organized around that situation: it separates information for parents from information for doctors, explains the main treatment approaches, and adds practical sections on insurance, travel, and what to expect from the care experience. The site is informational rather than a booking or pricing tool — it does not publish fees, and it directs families to a phone number and contact page for specifics.

Who the site is written for

The navigation makes the audience split explicit. Alongside clinical sections, it includes:

• For Parents — a dedicated entry point for families
• For Doctors — referral-oriented information for referring physicians
• The Children — content centered on young patients
• Resources and Testimonials — supporting material and family accounts

This structure matters if you are a parent: you do not have to filter clinical content aimed at professionals to find the practical information.

The clinical topics covered

The site's core content distinguishes between conditions that are often confused, and between the treatment routes available:

The site states plainly that hemangiomas and malformations "are related, and often confused," but "very different in their natural history and in the options for treatment." That distinction is the reason the treatment list is split the way it is — the appropriate route depends on which condition your child has, not on a single default approach.

It also gives context on how common these cases are: roughly 10% of births involve a vascular birthmark (about 400,000 children per year in the United States), and about 30% of those — nearly 120,000 children annually — have a birthmark that should be evaluated by a specialist. That second figure is the site's own threshold for when a specialist opinion is warranted.

Practical support for families

Beyond the medical sections, the site lists several items aimed at the logistics of getting care:

• Treatment Process — what the course of care involves
• Insurance Information — coverage-related guidance
• Travel Planning Assistance — help for families coming from elsewhere
• Complete Care Experience — a description of the overall care model
• Traveling To Charleston — the clinic is located in Charleston
• Testimonials — accounts from families
• News — updates from the center

The travel and insurance sections are the ones to read first if you are not local, since they address the two questions that most often delay a decision: whether the visit is covered and how to arrange the trip.

How to make contact

The site provides a phone number, 843-571-4742, and a Contact page. There is also an About Us section and a page for Dr Hochman, identified as Medical Director. For anything case-specific — whether your child's birthmark needs evaluation, what a visit involves, or what your insurance will cover — the site points to these contact routes rather than answering in the page text.

A note on what the site does not provide

The site does not publish treatment prices or a self-service booking system. The one dollar figure that appears — a tentative quote of $50–$60k for hospital and anesthesia costs in a specific patient's case — is part of a fundraising appeal for that individual child, not a general price list. Treat it as an illustration of how hospital and anesthesia costs can sit outside surgical fees, not as a cost estimate for your own situation. For coverage and cost questions, use the insurance information section and then confirm directly with the clinic.
