About The Kidney Experts

The Kidney Experts is making a difference in the lives of our patients suffering from kidney disease. Learn how we got started, and what drives our mission as The Kidney Experts.

History

The Kidney Experts’ history as a kidney care practice starts in the West Tennessee area. Dr. Shree Mulay grew up in Dyersburg, TN. His father, Dr. Ramakant Mulay, practiced as a nephrologist (kidney specialist), serving the community for over thirty years.

Shree followed in his father’s footsteps, along with his wife, Dr. Anna Lee-Mulay. They provide quality kidney care to the growing West Tennessee community. They now see patients at four kidney care clinic locations, twenty dialysis units, and manage patients at three West Tennessee Healthcare hospital systems.

To help cover the practice, Clay Walker, PA-C, joined The Kidney Experts in late 2019. Towards the end of 2020, he made the decision to move to Nashville, and went on to join another Nephrology practice.

Courtney Roberson, FNP, joined the clinic in early 2020, and has been a great addition to The Kidney Experts. Lisa Hoehn, FNP, joined our practice in February 2021 when she moved from Pascagoula, MS to Jackson, TN. She has been part of a nephrology practice for over five years and brings valuable experience to our community.

Core Values

It is our core values that guide us and drive us. They are:

Compassion & Empathy.

Accountability & Ownership.

Efficiency & Hard Work.

Integrity & Respect.

These core values guide the practice and everything we do to care for our patients’ kidney care needs.

We do everything possible to slow down kidney disease. Sometimes further care is necessary. We then focus on kidney transplantation and home therapies. There are options for many patients other than having to visit a dialysis unit 3 times a week.

Finally, we aim to offer the best customer service.

We use Epic as our electronic medical record. We always provide you access to your patient health records through MyChart. This also makes it easy for us to send and receive your health care records.
