Your blood work came back with a high creatinine. Your blood pressure won't come down on three medications. Your doctor says you need a kidney specialist. Now what?

We run an EKG in our clinic and coordinate your lab work, so your workup keeps moving. Patients come to us across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Spring Valley, and Enterprise.

Why Early Kidney Care Matters
Kidney disease often causes no symptoms until damage builds up. Early care helps slow kidney damage and gives you more options later. If your labs show a falling eGFR, protein in your urine, or a rising creatinine, now is the right time to see a nephrologist.
EKG in Our Clinic
A 12-lead EKG is on site, which matters when your potassium or other electrolytes run high or low. Dr. Cheta orders the lab work your evaluation needs and reviews every result with you.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Dr. Cheta reviews your kidney function over time, your blood pressure readings, your medications, and any imaging or biopsy results. She examines you and orders the labs your evaluation needs.
You leave with a written plan, and your primary care doctor gets the same note.
Coordinated Kidney Care Under One Roof
Kidney disease rarely shows up alone. Dr. Cheta works alongside pulmonologist Dr. Anisa Valina, DO, and our primary care team in the same building. Your medications and treatment plans line up across every doctor on your chart.
Care for Federal Workers, Energy Workers, and Injured Nevadans
Dr. Cheta evaluates kidney disease and high blood pressure linked to accepted DOL/OWCP and DEEOIC claims, including exposures at the Nevada Test Site. We also accept Nevada workers' compensation claims.
