As a patient of UF Health Shands Transplant Center, you benefit from our three key features: experience, expertise, and excellence.
Experience.
We were one of the first liver transplant programs in the state of Florida - and we've continued to lead the field in transplant techniques. Our doctors - who are faculty in the University of Florida College of Medicine - are committed to focusing our knowledge and research on patients with advanced liver disease.
Expertise.
Our team has successfully transplanted more than 1,600 patients with end-stage liver disease. Our multidisciplinary approach to patient care draws on the combined expertise of our transplant physicians, transplant surgeons, nurse coordinators, transplant assistants, social workers, financial counselors, transplant pharmacists, immunogeneticists, anesthesiologists, intensivists and psychologists.
Excellence.
We take pride in our successful outcomes, and we are dedicated to transplanting livers as quickly as possible for those on our waiting list. After 12 months of being on our waiting list, 3.6 percent of patients died without a transplant, compared to the national average of 8.1 percent (Source: Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients).
