Stay away from this place!!! My brothers has been a patient for 7 months. Dr. Clyde Mendonca is who was treating him. Not only has he not been able to correct any of the issues he's had. He failed to diagnose that he has only 1 kidney!! You'd think a kidney specialist treating a patient with kidney issues would of found that issue. Not only does he only have one, that one has plaque. So ... this is likely what has caused his issues to begin with. He gave him contradictory diet restrictions as to what was actually needed. Put him on the same medication that he was told were the reason his kidney shut down to begin with. NOW .. As my brother is sitting in the hospital again a Dr from the same practice is treating him and has told him they have no record of him being a patient to retrieve his records. Patients beware... steer clear!!!! You can't make this stuff up. Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable! I wouldn't take a stray dog to this place for help!

During these trying times, it's not easy, not only for patients, but also for the staff and physicians. As my husband and myself are new to kidney issues, they were wonderful. staff and physician took their time and was greatly appreciated. very thorough, thank you

I have tried for days to get through on their phone system to no avail. I'm trying to get my wife's medicine refilled, but the process now took 5 days, and we're still trying to get it refilled. She only has 1 day's worth left. I have to write to this place on the patient portal and have spent more time here than doing my day job. Terrible organization!

Dr. Cohen was my nephrologist since 2008. He was patient, extremely caring and was always willing to spend as much time with me as I needed. I will miss him. RIP.
