Expertise in Kidney Care
With the depth and strength of UC Davis Health behind us, we are focused on personalized care for our kidney patients. We have expertise in treating chronic kidney disease and renal failure (loss of proper kidney function). Our relationships with numerous dialysis providers throughout the region allow our patients to find locations convenient to them. Many of our patients do their dialysis at home, with the help of our nurse navigator. We also work with the Division of Transplant Nephrology to care for patients who need a kidney transplant.
UC Davis Health serves the Sacramento region and the broader Northern California community. UC Davis Medical Center is ranked among the nation’s best hospitals, according to the 2023-2024 U.S. News & World Report survey. It’s ranked as the No. 1 hospital in Sacramento and No. 7 in California.
