Treatment advances have made many kidney conditions treatable when they are diagnosed early. The nephrologists at Commonwealth Health diagnose and treat a range of kidney and urological disorders. We offer a variety of services, including:

• Kidney, fluid and electrolyte disorders treatment
• Hypertension care and management
• Dialysis, including acute dialysis, pre-dialysis education and dietary instruction
• Treatment for kidney stones, including laser surgery
• Preventive care and nutrition counseling

The kidneys play an important role in removing waste and excess fluid from the body, but this process doesn’t function properly in individuals with advanced kidney disease. Dialysis uses special equipment to mechanically clean and filter the blood, usually performed three times a week. The procedure takes a few hours to complete.

Cinicians deliver compassionate care in a quiet, warm environment where patient safety and comfort are of the utmost importance. The dialysis care team has training in dialysis and infection control, and is dedicated to making patients as comfortable as possible.
