They need to be more open and make sure they explain all the risks. I wasn't told one very Critical side effect of having the transplant and didn't find out until 5 years later

I felt like things were a bit backward at my appt, I saw my coordinator and doctor, had all my evaluation and instructions BEFORE my bloodwork! Seems as if they should have seen my results before evaluation and instructions as the results are crucial to what they would tell me. It seemed like a "feel good" visit and not based on my lab values.

Dr. Tevar listens well and explains clearly. His experience, genial nature, and the concern he shows for patients as individuals gave me confidence in my decision to be a living kidney donor at UPMC. I am grateful for his expertise and his continuing care. Also grateful for my nurse coordinator Stacy who is responsive, addresses my concerns, and makes sure everything is going A-OK!
