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.

Common questions about FMC Carolina Dialysis Sanford

Does FMC Carolina Dialysis Sanford offer home dialysis training?

Yes. This clinic trains patients for home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Training is a series of visits rather than a permanent move, and your nephrologist has to agree it suits you.

Does it have evening or late shifts?

Not according to Medicare's records. Shift times change and are published nowhere, so it is still worth asking when you call.

How many stations does it have?

36 stations, meaning up to 36 people can be treated at once. A larger unit usually means more shift options. It says nothing about the quality of care.

Does Medicare publish a quality rating for it?

Yes. Medicare places this clinic in the top 25% 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.

Who owns it?

It is a for-profit facility operated by Fresenius Medical Care, Medicare-certified since 2002.

How do I find out if there is an open chair?

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.
