When your kidneys need attention, you need a practice that understands the full picture — diagnosis, treatment, and the life that comes after. We provide comprehensive nephrology and hypertension care rooted in evidence and guided by respect.
Compassionate care,
every step of the way.
Three Rivers Nephrology and Hypertension Associates was founded on a straightforward belief: kidney and blood pressure conditions deserve a practice that treats the whole person, not just the lab results. Our physicians bring specialized training in nephrology to every consultation, combining the latest clinical guidelines with the kind of continuity that comes from knowing your history.
Located in the heart of Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood at 1401 Forbes Avenue, we serve patients across the metropolitan area who are managing chronic kidney disease, hypertension, electrolyte disorders, or complex medication regimens. Whether you've just been referred for evaluation or you've been under care for years, we meet you where you are.
Treatment decisions are grounded in current clinical guidelines and the best available research, not惯例 or convention.
We take the time to explain diagnoses, discuss options, and ensure you understand your care plan before moving forward.
We work closely with your primary care physician and other specialists to keep your care coordinated and consistent.
Our office is centrally located in Oakland with convenient hours and a team that responds to your questions promptly.

We begin with a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and any prior lab work. New patients are encouraged to bring records from referring physicians.
Comprehensive lab work, imaging, and assessment to establish a clear diagnosis and determine the stage and cause of your kidney condition.
Together, we develop a treatment strategy that aligns with your health goals, lifestyle, and preferences — with clear explanations at every step.
Kidney health is managed over time. We schedule regular follow-ups, adjust treatment as needed, and remain available for questions between visits.
"For the first time, I felt like someone was actually listening — explaining my numbers, walking through every option, and treating me like a person instead of a diagnosis."
Whether you've been referred by your primary care physician or you're seeking a second opinion, we're here to help. Contact us to schedule an appointment or ask a question.
