Dr. Derek Sloan Larson, MD

Dr. Larson is by far one of the most proactive and compassionate doctors I have ever had the opportunity to care for me. He is so very intelligent and engaged in the most current research and advances related to his medical field. I am so grateful for his service. I trust him immensely. Thank you!

I cannot describe the level of apprehension when by family doctor told me that I needed to see a kidney specialist. Dr. Larson and his entire office made me feel like I was more than just "another patient". He spent an hour with me on the first visit and even called personally after my bloodwork returned to review the results. I appreciate his thoroughness and could not imagine a better doctor.

Great bedside manner and I never feel rushed. Dr. Larson has a way of making very complicated issues easy for me to understand.

When my primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Larson, I looked him up online and couldn't believe all the good reviews. That is, until I met him! Dr. Larson and his entire office staff are unbelievable. He is kind, intelligent, and an excellent communicator. He even took the time to call my PCP personally after the visit.

It’s no wonder that Dr. Larson has 5 stars on this site - he is phenomenal! I wish he could just take over as my PCP! None of us wished to have kidney disease, but since we do, it’s a blessing to have a doctor like him around.

Great communication; takes the time to explain my medical condition and any treatment. I never feel rushed and there is no doubt how much Dr. Larson cares. A true gem of a doctor.

Doctor Larson is one you can really trust as he spends the time to really get to know your medical condition and make sure you make informed decisions. His staff operate like a well oiled swiss watch and as a team complement his practice. You know exactly how your kidneys are working (or failing). No patient can ask for more than that. Highly recommended.

I was recommended to see Dr. Larson as a second opinion from my primary care provider. After seeing him, it’s very clear to me why he’s rated as a top Nephrologist in St. Louis. I’m sticking with him!

Dr. Larson is the best and his office staff is amazing! So glad that I found him.

Intelligent, on-time, and courteous. I really appreciate the amount of time that Dr. Larson took with me during my initial appointment (60 minutes or so) and the thorough nature of answering my questions. It took me several months to get in to see him (hes so busy!) but it was well worth the wait!
