Patients can be referred to the clinic through the IRIS referral system. We ask that referred patients have a primary care physician to whom the patient can be returned after consultation. If the patient does not have a primary care provider, or if the patient needs to be seen urgently, please, contact the attending nephrologist on call prior to placement of the referral.

The name and pager number can be obtained from the hospital page operator (312-864-6519) or the plan of the day on the intranet.
