NDAC Executive Team

At the National Dialysis Accreditation Commission, we are committed to ensuring high‑quality standards of kidney care for all patients receiving care in NDAC‑accredited locations. Our mission ensures that every individual receives the finest medical care possible, uplifting their quality of life through our accreditation process.

In this vital work, we are supported by many heroes—healthcare professionals, caregivers, and advocates—who strive to save lives and improve the quality of life for those affected by chronic kidney disease. Their unwavering compassion makes a profound difference during the most challenging times.

Though we operate behind the scenes, our dedication reflects the impact we all have on patients’ lives as we work tirelessly for their kidney care needs.

Providing Best-In-Class Dialysis Accreditation

NDAC was formed by experienced dialysis professionals with a long history of career success in the regulatory, clinical, and operational functions of dialysis. The daily focus of our experienced survey team is to ensure that patients in every dialysis facility are treated in a safe environment with quality care and that our dialysis provider customers and their staffs experience an accreditation survey that exceeds their service expectations.

Voices from the Dialysis Community

"The surveyor team was very professional from start to finish, extremely knowledgeable and delighted with the state of the facility. During the survey, the surveyor team explained to the staff what to expect during each step of the process. Because of this open communication, the staff felt comfortable with the surveyor team during their interviews with them. We will use NDAC again and recommend them highly to other dialysis providers."

S.M. — Area Clinic Manager

"NDAC has been a pleasure to work with. Their surveyors' methodologies are consistent, predictable, and reasonable, and in line with customary ESRD regulations. They turn around written reports incredibly quickly. Their response time to requests and applications has been timely and faster than anything we've experienced in the past."

W.E. — Vice President, Large Dialysis Provider

"We received our Medicare certification letter for our new clinic in record time… much faster than if we would have gone through and waited for our state survey agency."

Dialysis Manager

"NDAC is head and shoulders above anyone else when it comes to knowing not only ESRD compliance, but also the dialysis business. They understand."

R.D. — Compliance Officer

"You look at the things that matter."

A.B. — Administrator

"NDAC brings a whole new day to the survey process!"
