Choosing a dialysis center in Boston
In-center hemodialysis usually means three sessions a week of three to four hours each, so the schedule and the drive matter as much as the ratings. Compare the star rating and our score, then check the details that fit your life: a shift that works around your job, home dialysis training if you want more independence, and how the center does on hospital admissions and infections. Tour the center and ask the questions in our checklist before you commit.
