Comprehensive care
For patients with kidney and kidney-related diseases, we provide the full spectrum of diagnostic capabilities, up-to-date treatments, as well as all types of renal replacement therapy. Members of our faculty are nationally and internationally recognized.
We also offer a nationally acclaimed kidney and kidney-pancreas transplantation service through the MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute. Our kidney transplantation program is one of the busiest transplant programs in the region, consistently delivering excellent results.

We care for people with complicated health challenges, such as kidney disease coupled with multiple organ failure. We also treat genetic diseases and rare conditions.
Care is customized to each patient’s needs, including preparing patients for a kidney transplant if that treatment option can deliver the best health outcome.
