We’ve compiled a list of questions that you should ask your kidney doctor.

- Why am I being referred to a nephrologist?
- What are the signs that my kidneys may be in trouble?

We understand that doctor’s visits can be overwhelming with information. If you have a loved one or caregiver who can attend with you, they can help take notes and make sure that you get all your questions answered.
Dallas Renal Group physicians spend time with you to answer all your questions, listen to your concerns, and work with you to determine the best plan of action.
