“I have always enjoyed a close relationship with my patients and find it an honor to be able to care for them over an extended time. I greatly admire the way so many patients accept with such grace and dignity the difficult life situation of needing dialysis, and accordingly I feel that it is our duty to provide them with the best possible care."
