Get to Know - Our Nephrologists!

Meet Dr. Rey Acedillo
A Nephrologist is a doctor who treats people with kidney disease. At Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Nephrologists see patients in the hospital setting and in their offices. After hours and on weekends an “on-call” Nephrologist can be reached through the Thunder Bay Answering Service. The Nephrologist monitors your kidney disease and creates a care plan with you based on your medical needs as well as your life circumstances to ensure you receive the best care possible.
