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.

I'm thankful to have Dr Hoeve as my cardiologist. He has always listened to my thoughts and concerns and helps adjust my meds and advise to my advantage..He puts my mind at ease with my concerns...
He was great and right to my issue. I had to wait 3 hours so I know they were very busy.
Great doctor, really listens. Highly recommend.
Helpful and caring from top to bottom ❣️
Dr Fanous is very personable and informative. I really like him alot.

I give him a 5 out of 5! I'm not a Doctor type of person, but he made me feel comfortable right out the gate. Very friendly and professional! Got right to the point and really helped me figure out what was causing my pain! Excellent visit and Doctor!!
Very pleasant personality very informative!
DOCTOR Rayner Absolutely 💯 Great... Bedside manner fantastic.... Made a nervous Grandma at peace... Amazing outcome... Job well done. I recommend highly... Thank you...
Dr. Niemela diagnosed and did surgery on a tendon tear and bone spur on my foot. There had been pain for over a year with each step, and it was more severe as time went on, and even waking me throughout the night. The successful surgery eliminated the pain immediately! No pain to speak of, and the follow-up care was top notch. Thank you Dr. Niemela and staff! Photo one week after surgery.
Dr Stephen clear and chearful in his diagnoses, treatment and directions to the patient.
Very thorough & explains everything he’s doing. Chloe is very friendly checking up on me.
It's always a pleasant visit when see I Dr. Hoevee and this was no exception. And shout out to Clio who is also great!
Very thorough in explaining and seemed like he generally cared
Knowledgeable, Quick & Personable
Dr. Vix and Dr. Foltz are proactive and reactive. They jump into action and get you the care you need right away. There is no waiting periods regardless of shift change or time of the day. They are attentive and efficient. I only wish we had more physicians like them at transfer hospitals. We certainly receive the best care at SMH with the ER staff and nurses.
