I just returned home yesterday from my transplant surgery. My best friend stepped up and donated his kidney. We had our surgeries at Baylor Dallas and it was an incredible experience.

Congratulations on your new Kidney. I had my Kidney Transplant at Baylor as well in 2015. The experience is something that I’ll never forget. My doctor was super nice but he’s no longer working there as of this September. He was even nice enough to send a letter informing me that he was leaving and that he enjoy being my doctor.

Thank you! The doctors were great and everyone made sure I was well educated before leaving. I would definitely recommend Baylor and Dallas Transplant Institute

Yes indeed! I had my transplant at Baylor Dallas as well. I am now 6 mos post transplant. I love DTI, the drs and nurses and lab, etc. are top rate. Dr Nesser runs a fantastic program there, I would highly recommend Baylor Dallas and DTI to everyone! Heck, we’ve probably seen each other lol!
