Our philosophy and approach to care is built around quality of life that is achieved thru education, health maintenance, and medical therapy provided by our highly qualified doctors and nurses. We encourage any patient or family or friends of patients to come visit our center, ask questions, and get an assessment of their specific situation. We would be happy to provide contact with a home dialysis patient ambassador that can provide honest opinions about their experience and lifestyle being on home dialysis. We believe in the flexibility that dialyzing at home can provide and want all patients to have this opportunity for a better life.
