Wake Nephrology Associates is honored to have you as a patient. Our modern facility enables us to provide you with the most current healthcare, diagnosis, preventive therapy and medications.

As nephrologists, we treat patients with kidney-related diseases: glomerulonephritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney stones and urinary-tract infections. Preventing or delaying complete kidney failure by using every therapy at our disposal is our philosophy. When kidney failure is inevitable, we provide renal replacement or dialysis therapy customized to each patient's needs. Our dialysis centers use the most advanced technology available, providing dialysis patients with the healthiest and most active lifestyle available today. We refer to all major transplant programs.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We can schedule office visits at our satellite offices in Dunn, Smithfield, Wake Forest and Cary. Special scheduling can accommodate unusual circumstances. We call to confirm each appointment. Please give us 24 hours notice if you must cancel an appointment, so we can free the time for another patient. We will be happy to reschedule you at a more convenient time.

One of our physicians is always on call to respond to emergencies - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Please call our office if an emergency arises. If the office is closed, our telephone answering service will relay information from you to the physician on call. He will return the call promptly, discuss the problem with you, and make arrangements for emergency care if necessary. It is unlikely, but if you are not contacted within 30 minutes, please call again.

Hospitalization can cause considerable anxiety. We will explain the cause and treatment of your condition as well as the risks and benefits of each procedure ordered in the hospital. If at any time your status or illness is unclear to you, contact us. We will make every effort to answer your questions.

Your primary physician may request a nephrology consultation while you are hospitalized for another condition. In that case, our staff will visit you, as needed, to complete recommendation for further diagnosis and treatment.

Please bring your medicine to the office when you come for your appointment. For prescription refills, call the office during business hours, unless it is an emergency.
