An Excellent Team to Guide You

Learning that you or a loved one needs to begin dialysis can be a scary and confusing time. Why did this happen? How will this affect my, or their, quality of life? What even is dialysis? First off, the need for dialysis comes about when a person's kidneys cease to function normally and are no longer able to filter the urine out of your body. Since urine is waste products, these can build up in the system and make a person very sick. Loss of kidney function can occur for a variety of reasons from complications from diabetes to congenital conditions. Luckily we have an amazing team here at Kidney Care & Transplant Services and in our Vascular Access Center who can make your experience with dialysis as easy and stress-free as possible so you or your loved one can continue living life to the fullest.
In order to begin dialysis we will need to establish an access point from which the blood can be filtered to do the job of the kidneys for them! With our incredible team of surgeons including George Lipkowitz, MD; Robert Madden, MD; Alexander Kurbanov, MD; Kenneth McPartland, MD; and John Lohlun, MD we ensure that you will be in capable hands throughout your journey. Additionally, since we have such a talented team of surgeons, we are able to offer a variety of procedures to our patients.
When you come to Kidney Care & Transplant Services not only do we ensure that your dialysis access or vascular access is done by the very best, but our team can handle kidney transplant surgeries for our patients, abdominal surgeries such as gallbladder or spleen removal and even simple surgeries like the removal of skin lesions. You can see all of the different surgical services we provide here but the bottom line is, that at Kidney Care & Transplant Services we believe that our team is the absolute best and we want to ensure that your experiences with us leave you feeling cared for and healthy.
