#1 Kidney Transplant Program in California
In 2024-2025, Providence St. Joseph Hospital Orange Multi-Organ Transplant Center in Southern California was ranked first in the state – and among the highest in the nation – for fastest transplant and post-surgery survival rates. Our skilled surgeons and staff provide the most personalized treatment for you.
We tackle surgical and medical challenges, like patients who have been turned down by other centers or those who are ABO-blood-type incompatible with their donors. Also, you don’t need to be referred by a physician or dialysis clinic to make an appointment – we accept self-referrals.
