Our Expert Team

Cedars-Sinai is indeed fortunate to have the expertise of some of the world's leading kidney transplant specialists. Each team consists of a wide array of specialists from various fields of medicine. In addition to diagnosing and treating complex medical conditions and performing the multifaceted procedures associated with organ transplants, the staff is also engaged in groundbreaking research that has advanced the field of medicine in many ways. For example, we have improved minimally invasive procedures and developed some novel therapies for patients who would not otherwise be eligible for kidney transplant. Recognized for their expertise, members of our team are published widely in national and international scientific and medical journals.
