About

We embrace our patients as our family, providing a unique level of comfort and care not normally found in the otherwise corporatized dialysis industry. Both our staff and the community of our clinic are here to support you.

This is a new stage in your life and we understand that change is difficult and scary. The idea of being on dialysis can be difficult to accept, but one needs to remember it is a life-sustaining treatment. The process is not as bad as you think it will be. Once a patient understands the treatment, most patients feel gratitude that this treatment exists and sustains their life. And, those patients in our community are equally grateful for our meticulous, kind, and compassionate care.

Nephron Dialysis Center opened on June 15th of 2000 with a Monday, Wednesday, Friday shift. Within six months we expanded to accommodate the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday Shift. Nephron Dialysis Center was at full capacity within one year.
