Question 9

are there any nephrologists in logan ut?

Accepted Answer

Can't find any: I look on http://www.Certificationmatters.Org and can't find any. Also looked on the healthtap directory and didn't find any. You might need to travel. Would recommend getting established with an internist or fp in logan and have them help you find a good nephrologist in the region. Sometimes a nephrologist will travel to different towns to make it easier for patients (a couple come to my clinic).
