SouthEast Kidney Associates

What SouthEast Kidney Associates does

SouthEast Kidney Associates is a private nephrology medical practice headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, operating seven clinic locations across the Greater Atlanta metropolitan area (Atlanta, Canton, Douglasville, East Point, Fayetteville, Kennesaw, and Marietta). The practice delivers comprehensive kidney care spanning the full disease continuum — chronic kidney disease management, hypertension treatment, diabetic kidney disease care, dialysis (in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis), kidney stone management, kidney transplant evaluation and post-transplant care, and end-stage kidney disease management — delivered by six physicians and one nurse practitioner reported as board-certified and fellowship-trained nephrologists with 35+ years of combined experience.

The underlying technology stack consists of standard healthcare practice management tooling rather than proprietary infrastructure: an athenahealth-powered patient portal for scheduling, records access, and bill pay; telehealth/virtual appointment capability; and a clinical research program for trial participation. In August 2024, the practice joined Panoramic Health, an integrated kidney care provider group with 750+ providers across 19 states, which provides access to a predictive analytics platform covering over one million lives, omnichannel patient engagement tools, and value-based care contracting infrastructure.

Revenue is generated from clinical services (office visits, consultations, diagnostic procedures), dialysis services, and clinical research participation, billed through insurance including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial plans. The go-to-market motion combines direct patient acquisition via the website and patient portal with a structured physician referral channel supported by a dedicated Referring Physicians section and online referral form. Customer concentration is long-tail, comprising individual patients across multiple kidney disease conditions.
