Pancreas Transplant Team
The Upstate Transplant Program is staffed by some of the most experienced pancreas transplant surgeons and physicians in the country. The program has made transplantation for diabetic patients, and specifically pancreas and islet transplantation, a cornerstone of its overall activities and is focused on bringing this life-saving therapy to our patients.
Our dedicated transplant team is committed to guiding you safely through the transplant process. Our goal is to make you insulin-free and non-diabetic. We will take the time to explain to you and your family the various options available for your pancreas transplant.
