At Eastern Nephrology Associates, the safety of our patients and our team members is our highest priority. This is especially true during the COVID pandemic. Despite the challenges imposed by this historic event, our commitment to patient care has not wavered. To provide patients with the care they need, ENA has established procedures that focus on safe distancing, proper use of PPE, and heightened cleaning protocols in all our locations of clinical care.
Unless directed otherwise by your provider, we recommend that high-risk patients (over age 65, anyone with a compromised immune system, or a transplant recipient) consider our telemedicine service rather than an in-office visit.
We also urge you to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
If you have symptoms of the virus such as fever, sore throat, or cough, contact your primary care physician immediately. If you have traveled to a high-risk country or have symptoms, and have an upcoming appointment, we ask that you contact us so that we can reschedule the appointment.
Eastern Nephrology Associates has acquired Carolina Kidney & Vascular, PA, with offices in Goldsboro and Clinton, NC.
Carolina Kidney & Vascular was founded by Robert Dunmire, MD, providing services in general, interventional and pediatric nephrology. Also in the practice is general nephrologist Thejaswini "TJ" Kempananjappa Kaggere, MD. The practice currently manages care at ten dialysis centers in the surrounding areas.
Eastern Nephrology will be combining its Goldsboro services with Carolina Kidney and Vascular under the Eastern Nephrology umbrella through offices in Goldsboro and Clinton.
