Mission
Protect kidney health with clarity and compassion.
We help patients understand their kidney health, slow disease progression when possible, and make confident decisions about treatment.
About The Kidney Experts
Big Expertise. Small-Town Heart.
If you are facing kidney disease, rising blood pressure, or confusing lab results, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. The Kidney Experts, PLLC exists to guide patients with clear answers, personal care, and a prevention-first plan close to home.
Our Driving Mission
Prevent dialysis whenever possible through early, personal kidney care.
This goal shapes how we practice: prevention first, clear education, and compassionate guidance at every step.
Our Story
A West Tennessee practice built from family roots
The Kidney Experts was founded by Dr. Shree Mulay, who grew up in Dyersburg watching his father, Dr. Ramakant Mulay, care for kidney patients in this community. He saw how much it mattered when families could get expert care from someone who knew the place they called home.
Dr. Shree Mulay co-founded TKE with Dr. Anna Lee-Mulay, a board-certified nephrologist. Together, they built an independent practice focused on helping patients understand kidney disease earlier, make confident choices, and preserve kidney function for as long as possible.
What we want for every patient
- To understand what your kidney numbers mean.
- To know what can be done before dialysis becomes part of the conversation.
- To feel listened to, respected, and prepared for the next step.
- To receive expert kidney care without losing the warmth of a local practice.
Vision
A future with fewer families facing dialysis.
We believe more people can live longer with stronger kidney health through earlier action, better education, and personalized care.
What makes us different
We lead with empathy and back it with expertise.
Patients deserve a guide who understands the fear of “what happens next” and has the kidney care experience to map a better path.
Our Promise to You
Your health. Your journey. We're here to help.
Kidney care can feel complicated. Patients often arrive with fear, unanswered questions, and the sense that dialysis is unavoidable. We believe you deserve a team that listens first, explains clearly, and helps you understand what can still be done.
Our role is to combine trusted nephrology expertise with practical next steps—so you can move forward with confidence, not confusion.
How we care
- We explain what your labs, symptoms, and diagnosis mean in plain language.
- We create personalized treatment plans instead of one-size-fits-all recommendations.
- We focus on preserving kidney function, preventing complications, and preparing you for every stage of care.
- We work to make every visit feel informed, respectful, and centered on what matters most to you.

Independent kidney practice
TKE is built around nephrology care, local relationships, and the needs of West Tennessee patients.
Same-day referral ethos
When a referring clinician calls with a patient who needs kidney care, we work to respond quickly and make room whenever possible.
Four locations
Patients can access care through four West Tennessee locations, helping reduce travel barriers for families.
Our Values
The values that shape every visit

Prevention focus
We work to find kidney problems early, slow them down when possible, and help patients avoid dialysis whenever we can.
03
Plain communication
We explain kidney numbers, treatment choices, and next steps in language you can use at home.

Data with compassion
We use labs, trends, blood pressure readings, and evidence to guide care while listening to what matters to you.
05
West Tennessee roots
We believe patients should be able to receive expert kidney care close to home, with the warmth of a local practice.
