We offer the most innovative drug therapies, surgical technologies and transplant protocols, while continuing to research and develop more advanced methods.

We strive to provide unmatched and comprehensive evaluation, patient education, disease management and team-oriented care to improve our patients’ lives, no matter the disease stage.
Expertise in Treating Life-Threatening Disease
The liver breaks down and purifies everything you consume, including food, alcohol, drugs and medications. As liver disease progresses, it impairs metabolism, detoxification and storage functions, ultimately affecting the entire body and becoming life threatening.
The Conover center offers specialized programs for all advanced liver diseases and cancers. As part of the Houston Methodist J.C. Walter Jr. Transplant Center, we perform more than 100 liver transplants annually, including living donor, split-liver and multi-organ transplants.
