Experienced nephrologists (kidney specialists) and transplant surgeons staff Jefferson’s extensive Kidney Transplantation
Surgery Program. Our specialists work in close coordination to provide the best team-care possible and to match the right
recipient with an available donor organ.
The Kidney Transplantation Team includes
- transplant surgeons
- transplant coordinators
- social workers
- a financial coordinator, and
- other physician specialists
Patients benefit from our Program's multidisciplinary approach by having access to various experts who guide the patients and
their families from evaluation through post-operative recovery. We also provide long-term follow-up care through clinic visits
and monitored laboratory studies. We believe our detailed follow-up care contributes to the program's high success rate.
Our Team continues to search for new ways to assist patients in seeking a better quality of life through kidney transplant.
