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.
Not according to Medicare's records. Shift times change and are published nowhere, so it is still worth asking when you call.
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 middle 41% 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 DaVita, Medicare-certified since 2017.
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.
