Dr. Shaked

“We are the best transplant center in that our experience and expertise include all organs- heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas and extends to include multiple organ transplants, such as heart/lung and kidney/pancreas.

Our program is very busy, very experienced and very stable, but most importantly, we have very good results.  Patients who are transplanted at Penn Transplant Institute have much better chances to survive longer and better.”

Abraham Shaked, MD, PhD
Chief, Division of Transplantation Surgery
Director, Penn Transplant Institute
