Patient Experience & Approach
Kidney disease patients say talking to Dr. Ashok Sarin is much better. Instead of just hearing a creatinine number, they get clear explanations about how bad their kidney damage is, what caused it, and practical ways to slow it down or stop it. Diabetics finally understood how high sugar damages their kidneys, and families found the transplant process well-organized with careful care before and after.
