Who performs the dialysis access procedure?
Establishing dialysis access is an invasive (surgical) procedure that can be performed by nephrologists, interventional radiologists and surgeons. A team effort helps ensure excellent patient service, care and long-term results. The dialysis access center at BIDMC is staffed with leading nephrologists, interventional radiologists and transplant surgeons in the Boston community. The team also consists of a dialysis access nurse coordinator and social workers. We meet regularly to ensure that you receive the best care each specialty has to offer.
