Dialysis in the US by the numbers
Why our rankings are different
Built on official data
Every number comes from the CMS Provider Data Catalog, the same data behind Medicare.gov Care Compare, refreshed each quarter.
Outcomes and patient voices together
We rank survival, hospital stays, infections, dialysis adequacy and transplant waitlisting alongside what in-center patients say in the ICH-CAHPS survey. See exactly how.
The details that fit your life
Evening shifts, home dialysis training, number of stations and who owns the center, on every listing.
No pay-to-play
Centers cannot pay for placement. Rankings are computed from data only.
