Every treatment needs a way into the bloodstream. A fistula is a connection made surgically in the arm. A catheter is a tube placed in a large vein. Fistulas last longer and get infected less, so they are generally preferred where a patient's veins allow one.
These two do not add up to 100%. Some patients use a graft or another form of access. Access type depends on a patient's own veins, whether earlier attempts held, how soon surgery was available, and what the patient chose.

No. Medicare's records show no home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis training here. Other clinics nearby may offer it, and training does not usually mean leaving your current clinic permanently.
Yes — Medicare records chairs available after 5pm. Which specific times are free changes constantly and is published nowhere, so call to ask.
16 stations, meaning up to 16 people can be treated at once. A larger unit usually means more shift options. It says nothing about the quality of care.
Yes. Medicare places this clinic in the top 8% of US clinics. That is a position in a national distribution, not a score it passed or failed — most clinics sit in the middle band by design.
It is a for-profit facility operated by American Renal Associates, Medicare-certified since 2015.
By calling. Chair availability, insurance acceptance and wait times are not published by Medicare, or by anyone else, for any clinic in the country. That is why the phone number is at the top of this page.
Every measure Medicare publishes about a dialysis facility, grouped in Medicare's nine categories and numbered for citation. Nothing here is selected. Where this clinic has no figure, the cell carries a dash and Medicare's code, and the codes are explained below the table.

A ratio below 1 means fewer infections than Medicare expected for this clinic's patients. The published range is wide enough here to include the national expectation, which is why Medicare rates it as expected.
This facility is one of 41 Colorado clinics rated as expected. The state has 48. Based on 21 patients.
This facility is one of 4 Colorado clinics rated better than expected. The state has 82. Based on 73 patients.
Listing depends on a patient's own health, what the regional transplant centre requires, and the patient's own choice — not on the clinic alone.
This facility is one of 70 Colorado clinics rated as expected. The state has 73. Based on 42 discharges.
This facility is one of 72 Colorado clinics rated as expected. The state has 73. Based on 50 discharges.
This facility is one of 79 Colorado clinics rated as expected. The state has 81. Based on 219 patients.
This facility is one of 76 Colorado clinics rated as expected. The state has 81. Based on 70 patients.
This facility is one of 69 Colorado clinics rated as expected. The state has 78. Based on 31 patients.
These are adjusted for how sick a clinic's patients are. For a clinic this size the published ranges are usually wide enough that the figure cannot be told apart from the national expectation.
