In late 1997, some like-minded health-care professionals met for a late dinner at a local Athens bistro. They were united in a vision to trigger what they saw as a health-care revolution in diabetes care. Simply, to provide a full-service, technologically-advanced, patient-oriented, humane, clinical practice, dedicated to the care of micro-vascular disease in diabetes. The kidneys, eyes, heart, brain and blood vessels. To serve the North-East corridor of Georgia specifically, but open to anybody in need of specialized medical care, from anywhere in the world.

Two years later, ground was broken for the Athens Kidney Center campus along North Chase Street in Athens, Georgia. Since then, we have never looked back. Athens Kidney Center has rapidly harnessed first-rate medical care in her quest for medical leadership in kidney, ophthalmic and vascular disease. We are dedicated to continued basic research, clinical investigation, community outreach, and of course, hands-on medical care in our areas of medical expertise. We aim to be the best at what we do.

We have continued to thrive from the continued support of our immediate community. We are affiliated with the local transplant centers at Medical College of Georgia and Emory University to further the cause of our patients. All our patients, irrespective of income, class, creed or nationality, are treated as VIP. If it wasn't for our patients, we would not be here in the first place.

Athens Kidney Center has come a long way. We still have a long way to go. We will not rest, until our corporate goals are accomplished. Without question, the journey would be made easier- and more fun- with your continued support. We hope your visit with us, marks the beginning of good things for you and yours.
