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.

Yes. This clinic trains patients for peritoneal dialysis. Training is a series of visits rather than a permanent move, and your nephrologist has to agree it suits you.
Yes — Medicare records chairs available after 5pm. Which specific times are free changes constantly and is published nowhere, so call to ask.
18 stations, meaning up to 18 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 bottom 12% 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 nonprofit facility operated by Central Florida Kidney Centers, Medicare-certified since 1993.
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.

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.
This facility is one of 223 Florida clinics rated as expected. The state has 440.
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 298 Florida clinics rated as expected. The state has 329. Based on 41 patients.
This facility is one of 494 Florida clinics rated as expected. The state has 516. Based on 52 patients.

This facility is one of 465 Florida clinics rated as expected. The state has 503. Based on 77 discharges.
This facility is one of 463 Florida clinics rated as expected. The state has 484. Based on 81 discharges.
This facility is one of 473 Florida clinics rated as expected. The state has 496. Based on 292 patients.

This facility is one of 466 Florida clinics rated as expected. The state has 472. Based on 37 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.
