Renal Medicine
Welcome to the Section of Renal Medicine
The Renal Medicine Practice at Boston Medical Center offers personalized care for all forms of acute and chronic kidney diseases. We specialize in complex clinical problems ranging from consultative nephrology to management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Through our affiliation with the DaVita Healthcare dialysis unit, we supervise the largest and most comprehensive outpatient dialysis program in Boston. The multidisciplinary renal care team consists of the dedicated nursing and support staff of the Renal Clinic, the DaVita Boston dialysis unit and the physicians of the Renal Medicine Practice. All Renal Medicine physicians are full-time members at Boston Medical Center and are on the faculty of the Boston University School of Medicine.
We are pleased to announce that Joline Chen, MD, has been appointed to the positions of attending nephrologist
in the Department of Medicine and assistant professor of medicine at BU School of Medicine. More
