Common complaints
- Difficulty in securing an initial appointment or renal consultation
- Perceived rationing of care based on dialysis need thresholds
"Two of my health care providers tried to refer me to this practice for a renal consult for 2 years. They refused to accept me as a patient. the reason I was given was that it did not appear I would need dialysis in 2-5. So, this large practice only sees patients who need dialysis?"
