At the Southern California Transplantation Institute and Liver Center, patients have access to resources that help them deal with every aspect of organ transplantation and the management of chronic liver disease. From the latest medical technology and our highly skilled physicians to support services for meeting emotional and spiritual needs, the focus of our care is to improve the quality of life for our patients and their families. We've seen remarkable progress in treating liver diseases.
Patients can be far more hopeful today because of the medical advances made.
Every patient undergoes a thorough pretransplant assessment to determine if organ transplantation would be beneficial. The transplant team reviews the results of laboratory tests and radiological studies, and also considers psychosocial and other medical factors. At the Southern California Transplantation Institute and Liver Center, we believe that patients should be thoroughly informed before deciding to undergo transplant surgery. We provide patient education as part of our pretransplant assessment. In addition to learning about the transplant process, patients have the opportunity to meet the surgeon and other members of the care team.
