Institute model of care
Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence brings together accomplished specialists with different areas of expertise. This institute approach to care helps us offer you the highest quality of surgical care across our entire network.

Transplant expertise
We’ve performed more than 1,300 transplants since our program started in 1991. Our surgeons are board-certified in general surgery and have deep experience performing complex transplant surgeries with excellent results. Our program routinely uses steroid-free immunosuppression. We also have exceptional results of highly sensitized (high cPRA) recipients.

Shorter wait times
Our expertise allows us to use donor kidneys that other centers don’t. This approach helps us offer lifesaving transplant surgery to more people, faster. Our transplant wait times are almost half that of centers in New Jersey and southern New York.

Care customized to your needs
Each member of our transplant team is dedicated to providing you the highest level of care in a way that’s customized to your needs. We work hard to exceed your care expectations – from the moment we meet you through your follow-up care after transplant surgery.
