Mission Dialysis Access Center allows patients to receive the procedures they need fast, and can typically return home within a few hours. Our staff is able to perform access management procedures in a comfortable, personalized setting, ensuring that you or your loved ones can start or continue dialysis treatment without delay.
Mission Dialysis Access Center focuses on vascular access for dialysis, as well as ongoing maintenance and management. We operate in an outpatient setting, meaning most procedures do not require a trip to the hospital or an overnight stay. Dr. Zamora and his staff use the latest minimally invasive techniques and devices to get you or your loved ones ready for dialysis treatment quickly.

No, you will NOT receive general anesthesia for the procedure. Most patients are given moderate sedation by a registered nurse (RN) or an anesthesiologist, depending on the procedure. These medications help to relax you and relieve any possible discomfort/pain.
Your family/friends may follow you through check-in and pre-procedure preparations. You may reunite in recovery once the procedure is complete. Your family can wait in the waiting room during your procedure, or we can call them for pick up when you are ready for discharge.
No, you will not stay overnight. Most patients go home 4-6 hours following their procedure.
If you receive sedation medicine for your procedure, you cannot drive yourself home – and you must have an adult drive you home and stay with you for the next 24 hours. You may only take a taxi or rideshare if an adult accompanies you.
After the recovery period most patients can be dialyzed the same day.
