OUR ACCESS CENTERS

In partnership with RMS Lifeline, Inc., we operate and staff two vascular access centers specifically aimed at caring for the vascular access needs of dialysis patients. Our nephrologists can usually see a patient the same day the problem is identified. This prevents missed dialysis treatments, and the cost is far less than hospitalization. Our access centers are at two convenient locations:

Michigan Kidney Consultants Dialysis Access Center 10861 Ten Mile Rd. Oak Park, MI 48237 (At Scotia, east of Coolidge) view map Tel: 248.541.7801
Michigan Kidney Consultants Dialysis Access Center 1886 W. Auburn Rd. Suite 300 Rochester Hills, MI 48309 (Northeast corner of Crooks and Auburn Roads) view map Tel: 248.844.4835

OUR NURSE PRACTITIONERS

All of our nurse practitioners have a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree and are nationally board certified. A nurse practitioner (NP) is a licensed mid-level provider, who may diagnose, treat and prescribe medications. A nurse practitioner may also be called an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) because of their advanced degree (MSN), experience and expertise. You may be seen by one of our nurse practitioners in the hospital, office, or at a dialysis center. The physicians and nurse practitioners of Michigan Kidney Consultants work together to provide quality care to all of our patients.

Feature Sample:
Filmmaking at the beginning of the twentieth century was in it's infancy. The techniques at that time could only show people and objects as they were, with an occasional photographic trick. As technology progressed, so did the effects we see on film. We no longer find it amazing that a star ship can appear to rush through space at "warp speed". We see whole cities demolished, knowing they are truly intact, and accept this as the norm. So to envision people flocking to a theater to see a movie that was entirely silent is a bit incredulous to us now. But that was the reality of the early twentieth century.
