What sets us apart

Our kidney transplant team stands out because of our dedicated experts, including doctors and surgeons with years of experience. We understand that undergoing surgery can be daunting, but we're with you at every step. Our commitment extends beyond medical procedures because we provide a comprehensive support system. With a focus on both care and comfort, we ensure every family feels secure and supported throughout their transplant journey.

Survival and success

Our program has a success rate of over 90% for three years after surgery. We always provide check-ups and follow-up care to make sure your child receives the best care.

Avoiding steroids

Since 2000, we've avoided using steroids with transplants. This can help your child grow normally, keeping their bones and bodies healthy as they adapt.

Back to school & beyond

Our team can help your kid return to school after their transplant, talking with teachers and classmates to help everyone understand their healthcare needs. We also provide support to teenagers who are ready to move to adult care when they're older. This is important for their long-lasting health, and to make sure they understand how to take care of themselves or how to ask for help when needed.

Our team is always working hard and providing the best care based on data, giving your child hope for a brighter future.
