NEPHROLOGY & HYPERTENSION MEDICAL ASSOCIATES
The team at Nephrology and Hypertension Medical Associ-
ates knows that many people worry when they have to see a kidney
doctor. “Many people think they need dialysis, but the reality is,
the vast majority don’t,” says Dr. William Gabbard. “Our job is to
reassure our patients and treat them accordingly to keep them off
dialysis.” With nearly 50 years of experience, the team of board-cer-
tified physicians work diligently to provide the best care for patients
with kidney related diseases and hypertension.
Nephrology and Hypertension Medical Associates physicians
diagnose and manage diabetes, and other conditions that lead to
kidney disease. Their approach with each patient is personal, and
takes into account the patient’s desires and needs. They also com-
bine trusted experience with up-to-date medical knowledge. “It’s
important that we practice evidence-based medicine, not antidotal
medicine. That means staying on top of current cutting-edge medi-
cines and treatment options,” says Dr. Gabbard.
Equally important is the compassion and dedication the excellent
team of providers and support staff shows to every patient. They
provide a relaxing atmosphere that makes patients feel comfort-
able. Nephrology and Hypertension Medical Associates have five
locations including offices in Savannah, Brunswick and Beaufort. In
2017, they brought on two new physicians to help with patient care.
