Kidney Disease & Acute Care
​From early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) to sudden acute kidney injuries, we provide expert diagnostic workups and personalized medical management. Our focus is on preserving your natural kidney function, slowing disease progression, and protecting your overall health.
Specialized Renal Therapies
When advanced intervention is needed, our team oversees comprehensive care across all treatment modalities. We manage in-center and home dialysis, coordinate kidney transplantation follow-up, and provide specialized therapies like plasmapheresis right here in upper East Tennessee.
Hypertension & Electrolyte Management
The kidneys play a vital role in regulating blood pressure and mineral balance. We specialize in diagnosing secondary and resistant hypertension, as well as correcting complex sodium, potassium, and acid-base imbalances to safeguard your cardiovascular and renal systems.
