Kidney Transplant

At Sentara, we have been successfully performing kidney transplants since 1972. Our top surgeons handle 60 to 70 kidney transplants every year-making us one of the most active and experienced kidney transplant centers in Virginia. We guide both patients and kidney donors through the transplant process step-by-step with thorough evaluation, transplantation and follow-up care.

Our goal is for you to live longer and better. The national Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients has ranked the Sentara Transplant Center as one of the top hospitals for adult kidney transplant survival rates in Virginia. This means many patients live longer, fuller lives after transplantation at Sentara.


Our full transplant team includes a range of dedicated specialists, many board-certified and fellowship-trained, including:

  • Transplant nephrologists
  • Transplant and urologic surgeons
  • Infectious disease specialists
  • Immune system specialists
  • Patient transplant coordinators
  • Pharmacists
  • Social workers
  • Support personnel who work with kidney transplant patients, their loved ones and the generous individuals who volunteer to donate a kidney

Our patients benefit from:

  • Community-based services: To save you time and stress, we arrange for you to complete most pre-surgery tests and post-surgery evaluations at Sentara facilities close to you.
  • Your own transplant coordinator: One individual will help you coordinate your transplant. Our patients tell us that talking to a single point person alleviates stress and legwork.

Multi-organ transplants: Board-certified, fellowship-trained Sentara surgeons offer the expertise to perform multi-organ transplants such as a kidney-pancreas transplant.
