Nephrological Associates was originally founded more than 45 years ago by Martin Jacobs, MD, a pioneering physician in New Jersey medicine, and today the practice is one of the largest and most highly respected Nephrology groups in the entire region. Dr. Jacobs was instrumental in bringing cutting edge diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease to New Jersey and was instrumental in establishing one of the largest and most highly respected renal transplant centers in the entire country at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey which is his namesake.

​

The subsequent formation and addition of the Comprehensive Kidney Disease Center (CKDC), which manages all of the complexities for those with kidney disease, was an important step in assuring that patients are provided with the highest level of care within a multidisciplinary framework. The CKDC provides this care in a personal and compassionate environment that emphasizes educating patients and working closely with patient’s primary care doctors and other specialists so they can be partners in their own treatment planning and decision making.

 

The physicians and staff at Nephrological Associates take pride in the rich history and accomplishments of our founding and early partners. With the past in mind, we are now looking ahead to the future of kidney disease care. Our goal is to use the best available research and the latest proven technology and combine it with dedication to our patients, hard work, and compassion to manage all aspects of kidney disease.
