The Scripps transplant team is composed of an established, multidisciplinary panel of surgeons, hepatologists, nephrologists, hematologists and oncologists who are nationally recognized as leaders in their field at the forefront of the latest advancements and treatment options. Your care team also includes:

• Transplant coordinators
• Financial coordinators
• Social workers
• Transplant dietitians
• Pharmacists

This team is complemented by an extensive medical staff specially trained to care for transplant patients and provides the full range of services our patients need to be successful.

Your transplant care team will be your partner before, during and after the transplant process. We’ll work closely with your insurance carrier, referring primary care physician and other specialists involved in your care to ensure all of your health care needs are addressed.

Our approach to medical care ensures that all of our patients receive treatment plans that are tailored to their individual needs.

For example, patients who cannot tolerate steroid-based drugs to prevent organ rejection following a transplant may qualify for steroid-free immunosuppression.

Our physicians actively participate in medical research to discover new treatment options and methods, ensuring state-of-the-art patient care.
