What is Nephrology?

Nephrology is the branch of internal medicine that focuses on kidney health. Kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, balancing electrolytes, regulating blood pressure, and maintaining overall fluid balance in the body. When kidneys are not functioning properly, it can lead to serious complications requiring ongoing medical management.

Our nephrology services are designed to help patients manage kidney function over time, reduce the progression of kidney-related disease, and improve quality of life.

5 out of 5 stars

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.

In my 70 years of experience, with numerous encounters in every aspect of health care, Dr. Niemela is by far the best. The treatment I received from him and his staff was excellent. The entire staff at Schoolcraft are at the top!
