Last updated
New Palestine sits in the southwestern corner of Hancock County along US 52, in the 46163 zip code. It is a community that has grown quickly, and like most towns of its size it has good primary care but no resident nephrologist. When a routine blood test turns up a kidney concern, the choice has usually been a long trip into Indianapolis.
Summit Kidney and Hypertension Care gives New Palestine families a much closer option. The office is roughly twenty minutes northeast in Greenfield, which makes the difference between a half day away from work and a straightforward appointment.
Care that fits around a commute
A large share of New Palestine works elsewhere, which shapes how kidney care has to be scheduled. Chronic kidney disease follow-up runs on repeat labs and periodic reviews, and appointments that require crossing Marion County get postponed. Ones that take twenty minutes each way do not.
We coordinate directly with primary care physicians serving the 46163 area so that lab results, medication changes, and blood pressure targets stay consistent between your family doctor and your kidney specialist.
What we treat
The full range of nephrology and hypertension care is available to New Palestine patients at the Greenfield office.
- Chronic Kidney DiseaseMost people learn they have chronic kidney disease from a routine blood test, not because they feel unwell. That early window is also when treatment does the most good.
- Dialysis CareThe best dialysis experience starts months before the first treatment, with an unhurried conversation about which approach fits your life.
- HypertensionWhen blood pressure will not come down on three medications, the answer is usually a cause that has not been found yet.
- Kidney StonesPassing one stone is misfortune. Passing a second is usually preventable, and the workup that prevents it is straightforward.
- Diabetic Kidney DiseaseThe first sign of kidney trouble in diabetes shows up in the urine years before creatinine moves, which is exactly why annual screening is worth insisting on.
- Anemia ManagementFatigue that patients put down to age or stress is often anemia, and it is one of the more treatable parts of kidney disease.
How do you get to the office from New Palestine?
