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 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.
Yes — Medicare records chairs available after 5pm. Which specific times are free changes constantly and is published nowhere, so call to ask.
43 stations, meaning up to 43 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 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.
It is a nonprofit facility, Medicare-certified since 1984.
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.
