When you need dialysis immediately and a permanent fistula isn't ready yet, a tunneled catheter bridges the gap. A soft, flexible tube is placed into a vein in your neck and secured under the skin with two small cuffs. It has two channels — one carries blood to the dialysis machine, the other returns it clean. When flow decreases over time, we swap in a new one. When your permanent access is ready, we remove it in a quick outpatient visit, leaving no device behind.

Dr Khan is kind and friendly! Always explains everything about my test results so I can understand and let's me ask questions.Iam glad to have him as my Doctor and trust him for my care. The office staff are also very nice.I have had no problem with appointments and no problem contacting the office when needed.
Dr. Abraham is great. She put me at ease through the entire process as it isn't easy when you are undergoing multiple procedures to figure out the issue. I do need to see her for the rest of my life but I trust her to be in her care and that she has my best interest. Her nurse Daisy is wonderful as well. They are always prompt to respond to calls, questions or requests. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Dr. Amberker is a caring and knowledgeable kidney disease specialist. I have total confidence in her excellent treatment. Both my husband and I are fortunate to be Dr Amberker's patients.
Dr. Pariswala. Is a great Doctor. I had congestive heart failure and I was in Methodist hospital for 4 weeks. He took his time and explained to me daily our routine and progress with the medicine he prescribed. He never gave up and he work wonders for my kidney. I give him Five Stars!
The nurses empowered me with the information and tools I needed to manage my health effectively. Their educational approach made me feel more in control of my condition.
