Another kidney transplant center were you will die before you get a kidney offer from them just like the Miami transplant center they give there kidneys to who ever they wish with caring about your place in line my husband lost more than 3 years of his time in this transplant finally they kicked him out with a real reason that would make sense so people don’t waste your precious time with this center.

I am fighting for my husband's life. He has ESLD. We have been trying to get him on the list for a year now. I contacted Shands twice through their website contact us form requesting info and appointment. I NEVER received a response. Thanks for nothing. Poor patient care. So very disappointed.
