I have had two kidney transplants at TGH. Top notch program in all respects. Compassionate providers.
Great place to get a transplant. Wait time was extremely short. Stay healthy and fit. Surgery was extraordinary! Dr. Huang did a complicated transplant on me and went very well. Totally impressed. Aftercare team was great all but one Doctor.
Tgh is a caring and very professional knowledgable transplant center. They took excellent care of me at surgery and post surgery. I encourage people to go there for your transplant. They have 50 years of experience and transplant patients that were denied at other hospitals.
