Today's pioneers are working together to make the event of transplantation the most comfortable experience possible for your patients and their families, with every consideration made for their well-being for years to come. The new communications systems of the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Transplant Center are dedicated to making the Mid-Atlantic's oldest, most experienced program also the most responsive to referring physicians. Any Hopkins specialist is just one phone call away. Two recent drugs in particular have demonstrated dramatic improvements and are being tested for uses beyond transplantation. As one of the few hospitals in the country with specialists in pediatric transplant, Hopkins offers patients additional margins of safety and a faster return in health.
Transplantation is much more than a surgical procedure.
It is a profound connection with another human being. M.D. Our continuum of care extends to any other tertiary care needs encountered by your patients, with the full resources of Johns Hopkins available to them. The Hereditary Renal Disease Center, for example, treats patients with this and other disorders. Our physicians are highly skilled. Dr. Lloyd Ratner has the technical proficiency to transplant a pediatric kidney in an adult patient.
