My son needed a transplant a few years ago. I believe Children's Hospital in Boston, MA is known as number 1 place for kidney patients. We went to the number 2 hospital for kidney patients - Johns Hopkins in Baltimore MD. They have a pediatric facility for kidney patients.

We also had a good experience at Washington DC Children's National Medical Center.

If you need a place to stay while you're visiting one of these places, you can stay in a Ronald McDonald house nearby to these locations. We did and it was a wonderful experience.

Good luck with everything and stay optimistic.

You need a nephrologist. The best in the US?? I don't know. all nephrologist go through lots of training. Get one with a M.D.!!!!

u are now in the face of two doctors ,a nephrologist a medical doctor to give opinion on possible renal damage and failure and treatment ,and a urologist to perform surgical repair ,i think u should co ordinate with any of both becoz their work will be inter-related ,who is the best in the states is difficult to answer ,but best clinics for example are well known like mayo-clinic

Hospital emergency room. They have the best doctor you can get .... the whole hospital is there to do all the testing needed to be done on the spot ... no making an apointment anywhere.

And it is the test that does the work for the doctor he just reads what the test show.
