The Pediatric-to-Adult Nephrology Clinic at CU Medicine is designed to support adolescents and young adults during this critical phase, offering expert care and compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Why Choose our Pediatric-to-Adult Nephrology Clinic?

 

Dual-Trained Specialists in Pediatric and Adult Nephrology 

Our providers are uniquely trained in both pediatric and adult nephrology, giving them the expertise to manage conditions that began in childhood and continue into adulthood. Pediatric-onset kidney disease often differs in cause and progression from adult-onset conditions—our team understands these nuances and tailors care accordingly.

Developmentally Appropriate, Patient-Centered Care

We recognize that young adults face unique medical, emotional, and social challenges. Our clinic offers personalized support and resources, including a medical passport designed to help patients understand and manage their kidney disease. We empower patients and families to feel confident and informed throughout their healthcare journey.

What Our Patients Are Saying

The Pediatric-to-Adult Nephrology Clinic has been great. Everyone’s really friendly, they take time to explain things in a way that makes sense, and they’ve made the whole transition process feel way less stressful. It’s nice knowing I have a team I can trust.

My experience with Dr. Dixon has been awesome—she’s kind, patient, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I always leave feeling I’m being taken care of by someone who’s not just smart, but also really thoughtful.

What makes me feel most supported is how they reach out a lot to see how I am doing. If I have questions, they answer fast and give solutions that are safe and helpful—not just risking my health for a medication.
