When Dr. Pagiel Shechter established Intensive Renal Care in 2001, he wanted to create a new concept in the private freestanding chronic dialysis industry. During the last decades, the chronic dialysis units have been suffering from heavy cuts in their quality of services, dictated by tight reimbursement constraints, imposed by Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately this lead to the development of some bad habits such as understaffing, cutting corners in techniques such as the reuse, cutting dialysis times and hiring under trained personnel. Another negative trend was the acquisition of most of the freestanding units by huge national conglomerates. The latter lead to total loss of the sensitivity to patients needs, development of rigid centrally imposed corporate protocols, and total loss of the significance of the Nephrologist in the sensitive decision making process of caring for patients with end-stage renal disease. Our purpose is to restore all the lost good qualities of privately owned dialysis treatment without compromise in the standards of care. We underwent a painstaking process in our evolution in order to reach this goal. But the end result is thrilling.Our patients are happy and loyal. We carry over our enthusiastic approach to our acute team, who serve inpatients. We deliver the same message of combining the best technologies with humanistic, caring and responsible service.We encourage all patients and their Nephrologists to try us.Another significant approach was the emphasis on smaller size unit, in order to restore patients’ comfort and warm feeling. We are opposed to the concept of putting patients in huge warehouse-like structures, where patients’ identity is lost.We have no doubt that our efforts will bear fruits, leading other units to adopt our concepts, of restoring the good qualities of patient care in dialysis.Dialysis Unit in Los Angeles Dear Agent For Patients/Clients who plan to visit the Los Angeles Area, we offer a Caring, Friendly and Professional dialysis center located in Los Angeles.
