best kidney doctor - #18225

Khushi

I am really worried about my dad. He’s been having these issues with his kidneys for a while now, and honestly, I don’t know what to do. He’s been feeling tired all the time, and sometimes he says his sides hurt like crazy. We went to a general practitioner last month and they ran some tests, and the results showed borderline kidney function but they didn’t seem too concerned or really gave us any clear answers. I keep thinking maybe we should find the best kidney doctor around! But how do we even know who that is? Like, what should I be looking for? My dad's getting worse and I don’t want to waste time, y'know? I’ve heard of a couple of specialists through friends but honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. How do we know the best kidney doctor can really help him and isn’t just going to prescribe meds without even checking properly? It’s just super frustrating because my family is dealing with this uncertainty and I feel like we need more than just a regular check-up. Any advice you all have on how to find the best kidney doctor would be amazing! What signs should I look for to know if we found the right one? Should I get a second opinion from a different specialist? Thanks for any guidance, cause this is just so overwhelming right now!
