I moved to Jackson TN in August of 2021. I was assigned to Davita as I was a PD Dialysis patient. Davita assigned Dr Oleru as my Nephrologist. I didnt care for him from day one but I was doing well physically and only had to see him monthly so I accepted him. Within months I was failing adequacy and had to return to Hemo Dialysis. It took them six weeks to schedule me to have my arm looked at in order to gat a graft put in to allow access for Dialysis. When they finally scheduled it, I was sent to a clinic in Memphis. That clinic was dirty and over crowded. They had an alternative procedure that was not 100 percent effective. I was then sent to the surgeon in Jackson, although that took Davita another six weeks to schedule. I saw the surgeon on 7/21 and had the surgery on 7/25. It takes six weeks for the graft to be usable. On 7/27 I nearly died, my blood was compromised due to the ineffective dialysis. I was in the hospital for a month. Oh did I mention that a temporary port that allows for dialysis can be put in. That procedure takes less then ten minutes. No explanation was ever offered as to why that wasn't done. I have since fired Oleru. I dis get on home hemo dialysis. Davita sent me a used, broken machine. I am in the process of changing clinics.
