“I can’t even begin to describe the excellent and exceptional care my father received in 2011 after his kidneys failed and he began home dialysis therapy under the direction of Nephrologist Dr. Andrew King and his team at Home Dialysis Therapies of San Diego. Any fears and concerns we had initially regarding choosing home dialysis versus hemodialysis were quickly eliminated after we were introduced to the high quality aspects of care that the center provided. The team included competent nurses, nutritionist, social worker, insurance manager, and efficient receptionist/office manager. The entire staff exhibited friendly and caring qualities with safety, comfort, and continual reassurance of high standards of care at all times. Even fears of affordability were handled with ease and swiftness. The entire package of care that the team provided my father extended his life and quality of it beyond what we ever expected. The professionalism and tireless enthusiasm the team delivered made a difficult medical condition much more manageable. We feel very lucky to have had such personal, attentive care for my father through Home Dialysis Therapies of San Diego! Thank you ~ always!”

“The team at Home Dialysis of SD is truly our extended family. When we knew we were headed in this direction, we had zero knowledge about it and even less enthusiasm. We were quickly guided by our trusted Nephrologist (Kim Harper) into this nest of amazing caregivers. Their gentle care and expertise made us comfortable with the new situation in a matter of weeks. We learned from their thorough training and patience how to take care of our dialysis at home independently -- but we know that the team is only a phone call/email away 24/7. We've had complex situations arise -- related to insurance, work, family care, etc -- and their team includes someone professionally trained to help in each situation. If you are requiring dialysis, I cannot recommend more highly that you schedule a meeting with Home Dialysis of San Diego -- you'll be in the best of hands.”

“Home Dialysis Therapies of San Diego was a wonderful care facility for my mother’s dialysis treatment. Dr. King provided very personable and detailed care to my mother’s needs. We really appreciated their full service staff, which helped keep everyone on the same page and minimize extra driving to other services. All the staff (Kathy - nursing, Cynthia – social services, Barb – dietitian, and others) showed great individual attention and care. They treated my mom as a person vs. a number. It really does feel like a close family. After my mother passed, they even checked in with us to see how we were doing. They truly care about their patients and their families. My wife & I highly recommend them for dialysis care.”

“When I started at HDTSD, I wasn't a happy person. I was mad, mean, and depressed. Looking back on it, I am sure nobody was happy to see me walk through the door on my appointment days. . However the nurses here were nothing but kind to me. They treated me less like a sick patient, and more like a friend. They didn't sugar coat anything for me, they just told me the truth, even with my out of the ordinary requests. I am healthy again, and there is seldom a day when I don't look back at this really rough time in my life and remember the kindness that was shared with me. I will always be thankful to the HDTSD staff for getting me through this dark time."

If you're a patient who is new to dialysis I have three letters for you; HDT. If you're already on dialysis and considering home dialysis I offer you the same advice; HDT. I've been on and off dialysis for 30 years, and home hemo offered me more freedom to live my life than in center ever could, and the staff at Home Dialysis Therapies have hit on a winning formula for maximizing patient freedom while monitoring your health. No problem goes unaddressed, and the staff is up on the latest information on dialysis, from nutrition to medications. From the moment you walk in the door you will be treated as family, not just another patient, and their first question is always "how do you feel?" and not "did you bring your flow sheets?" Having dialylized in about 20 different centers over the years I heartily endorse HDT as the best dialysis company I have encountered. I could go on and give you more details but that would just get in the way of you picking up the phone and calling them right now to see if home dialysis is right for you. Trust me, whether you're new to this or an old timer that remembers the early machines that alarmed constantly and kept you awake, if you want the best option for dialysis you want these people on your team. I don't always endorse dialysis companies, but when I do it's Home Dialysis Therapies of San Diego. Stay healthy, my friends."

"Good afternoon Dr. King, I am writing to you to commend you on the wonderful people who work at your facility in Wexford St. My wife, Chandana Sur, was diagnosed with kidney disease in 1999 and underwent transplant in 2009 in UCSD. She is now under the care of Dr. Tzrebinska. Her situation deteriorated suddenly toward the end of July. Everyone had to scramble to get her dialysis started quickly, within days. Your team came through with flying colors, but I want to specifically give a shout out to Rachel. We dreaded dialysis, and she made us so comfortable with it on day 1. My wife developed complications due to constipation and a nasty infection, and had to be hospitalized 2x in 2 weeks. Rachel was not only outstanding from a medical perspective, but also from the perspective of a caring, kind and generous human. She gave her mobile # and invited me to call her any time. I did and she was very responsive. She took time to talk to the Doctors at UCSD to walk them through the issues and their chronology. At those moments she was a "God sent". Saying she is "excellent" would be a gross understatement. My wife has to undergo temporary hemo for 4-6 weeks to let the PD catheter settle, and then we hope, back in HDT for PD. Once again, kudos on putting together a superb team at HDT, and bringing on board exceptional people like Rachel."

“Great nurses and all the staff are so helpful. They know that patients can chose where to be cared for and you want to look forward to your monthly visits. You can tell people mean more than profits. The nurses are on call 24/7 and that helps with my care confidence. Give them a call and see for yourself."

"It's rough seeing a loved one going through dialysis. With this team you feel assured and confident every step of the way. They are empathetic , compassionate and supportive to the patient AND family members. Grateful to Brian, Suzanne, Sonya, Kim, Denise and staff for just being there to support our needs. Also, Dr Harper is awesome! She is very personable, a great listener and makes me feel fully confident that my loved one is getting the best care possible!!"

"My wife just had a kidney transplant. She needs dialysis until the kidney is fully functional. A hospital nephrologist sent us to Home Dialysis Therapies for the necessary kit. They were warm, friendly and efficient. We are highly satisfied. The prior one star reviewer gives many one star reviews. Some people are hard to please."

“The girlfriend and I are no stranger to the world of kidney transplants and dialysis. She's been here to attempt to work on peritoneal dialysis and this last time we came to get the run down on how we might be candidates for home dialysis. The staff was so friendly and welcoming we both just felt so much at ease after speaking with them. I wanted to make sure to especially acknowledge how much we appreciated the staff here. Thank you!"

"We had an emergency situation today, a Saturday, and all the other dialysis centers and pharmacies were closed for the weekend. Their on-call nurse, Necitas, went above and beyond to help my brother-in-law what he desperately needed for his home dialysis treatment. What a blessing! Thank you, Ms. Necitas. We are beyond grateful"

“Extremely happy with the care extended to my mother. We are always greeted warmly with a kind word by receptionist/secretary, Luz. We "hear" her smile through the mask.
