Not All Dialysis Centers Are Created Equal

One of the highest transplant rates in New York State

We have a personal interest in each one of our patients. Patients who start dialysis at Lower Manhattan Dialysis Center rate among the highest to be transplanted in New York State and subsequently no longer need dialysis.

What Sets Us Apart

Low Mortality Rate: 70% Fewer Deaths

Low mortality compared to many other dialysis centers: 70% fewer deaths than expected during the first year on dialysis. One of the few dialysis centers in New York which has nephrologists on-site throughout the day.

Our patients live long and healthy lives

Excellent care during dialysis. For patients who are not eligible for transplantation or who choose not to receive transplantation: our longest patient was with us on dialysis for 32 years. Among our current patient population, we have those still doing well with us on dialysis for 15-30 years!

Not All Dialysis Centers Are Created Equal

Owned and Operated by Physicians

We are owned and operated by Physicians, and not by large dialysis business corporations. Our nephrologists take a patient-care approach for the best results. Our philosophy is that better dialysis will provide longer life, better quality of life, and fewer hospitalizations

Choose Quality Over Convenience

The convenience of location and transportation, while often important considerations, should take a “back seat” when deciding where a patient should be dialyzed.  The two most important factors to consider are the dialysis center’s rates of mortality and its rates of transplantation.

A Difference in Dialysis Care

Our nephrologists have many years of dialysis experience and are “hands on”, monitoring patients closely, reviewing their results, and making the proper adjustments to make sure each patient is kept as healthy as possible.

At Lower Manhattan Dialysis Center, we are proud of our proven record with regard to patient care.

We have more transplants and fewer deaths than expected, according to Federal government reports. At our dialysis centers, we pride ourselves in maintaining the highest standard of medical care, which leads to better outcomes.

Testimonials

  • The first time I set foot in the dialysis center it was like stepping in a different world, all of the machines whirling the tubes full of blood; I was really scared…but I found that Lower Manhattan Dialysis Center is a community; we are all going through some of the same things. We can talk to each other and the nurses, technicians and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I now enjoy coming in….
