                         Independent Auditors' Report



The Plan Administrator
DaVita Inc. Retirement Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of DaVita Inc. (formerly Total Renal Care, Inc.) Retirement Savings Plan (Plan)
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of DaVita Inc.
Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                          December 31, 2000 and 1999




(1)   Description of Plan

      The following description of the DaVita Inc. (formerly Total Renal Care,
      Inc.) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
      information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more
      complete description of the Plan's provisions.


      (a)   General

            The Plan is a defined contribution plan for employees of DaVita Inc.
            (Company) established effective October 1, 1994 and most recently
            amended effective December 1, 1998. Employees become eligible to
            participate upon completing six months of service with at least 500
            hours and attaining age 21. The Plan is subject to the provisions of
            the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").


      (b)   Contributions

            Participants may contribute an amount equal to not less than 1
            percent nor more than 20 percent of their compensation for the
            contribution period. Participants direct the investment of their
            contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.
            The Plan currently offers a general account, 12 pooled separate
            accounts and Company common stock as investment options for
            participants. Employee contributions are recorded in the period
            during which the Company makes payroll deductions from the
            participant's earnings.

            The Company made a matching contribution, where governed by Hawaii
            union contracts, in an amount equal to $.50 for each $1.00
            contributed by an employee, up to a maximum of 5 percent of the
            participant's compensation. The Company's Hawaii operations were
            sold in June 2000. The Company may also make discretionary non-
            elective contributions and profit sharing contributions. There were
            no discretionary non-elective contributions or profit sharing
            contributions made in 2000. Matching Company contributions are
            recorded annually. Discretionary non-elective contributions and
            profit sharing contributions, if any, are recorded annually.


      (c)   Participant Accounts

            Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
            contribution and allocation of the Company's contribution and plan
            earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account
            balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled
            is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested
            account.

                          December 31, 2000 and 1999




      (d)   Vesting

            Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions
            plus actual earnings thereon. For Company contributions, if any,
            employees hired before July 1, 1998 became fully vested in their
            account balance on that date, and after July 1, 1998 vesting is
            based on years of service. A participant becomes 25 percent vested
            after two years of service, 50 percent vested after three years of
            service, 75 percent vested after four years of service and 100
            percent vested after five years of service. However, if an active
            participant dies prior to attaining the normal retirement age, the
            participant's account becomes 100 percent vested.


      (e)   Payment of Benefits

            On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either
            a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the vested portion of his or
            her account, installment payments, or a distribution in the form of
            an annuity. Participants with an account balance of less than $5,000
            must elect the lump sum payment option. Distributions are subject to
            the applicable provisions of the Plan agreement.


      (f)   Participant Loans

            Participants may borrow up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of
            the vested portion of his or her account balance, whichever is less.
            A loan is secured by the balance in the participant's account and
            bears interest at a rate commensurate with market rates for similar
            loans, as defined (8.75% to 10.00% for the years ended December 31,
            2000 and 1999).


(2)   Summary of Accounting Policies


      (a)   Method of Accounting

            The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
            accounting.


      (b)   Investment Valuation

            Investments in pooled separate accounts are recorded at fair value,
            as determined by the unit value reported by Connecticut General Life
            Insurance Company ("CG Life"). Investments in the CIGNA Charter
            Guaranteed Long-Term Fund are non-fully benefit responsive due to
            certain potential restrictions on withdrawls exceeding 10% of the
            CIGNA Charter Guaranteed Long-Term Fund assets in any given year and
            are recorded at fair value. Participant loans receivable are valued
            at cost which approximates fair value. The Company common stock is
            valued at its quoted market price. Purchases and sales of
            investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.

                          December 31, 2000 and 1999



      (c)   Benefits

            Benefits are recorded when paid.


      (d)   Use of Estimates

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
            accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
            America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and
            assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
            liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets
            and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


      (e)   New Accounting Pronouncements

            In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
            Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
            amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138. SFAS No. 133 requires that an
            entity recognize all derivatives and measure those instruments at
            fair value.

            SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
            2000. Pursuant to SFAS No. 137, the Plan is required to adopt SFAS
            No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The impact of SFAS No. 133 on the
            Plan financial statements is immaterial.

            losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the
            year) was as follows:

(4)   Investment Contract with Insurance Company

      The Plan participates in a contract with CG Life via the CIGNA Charter
      Guaranteed Long-Term Fund. CG Life prospectively guarantees the interest
      rates credited for the CIGNA Charter Guaranteed Long-Term Fund for six-
      month periods. For the Plan's investment in the CIGNA Charter Guaranteed
      Long-Term Fund, the Plan is credited with interest at the rate declared in
      the contract which was 5.80% and 5.75% at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
      respectively, net of asset charges. The CIGNA Charter Guaranteed Long-Term
      Fund is included in the financial statements at fair value.

(5)   Related-Party Transactions

      Plan assets include investments in funds managed by CG Life, a wholly
      owned division of CIGNA Corporation (CIGNA). CIGNA is the Plan's trustee
      and as such, transactions with the trustee qualify as party-in-interest
      transactions. Personnel and facilities of the Company have been used to
      perform administrative functions for the Plan at no charge to the Plan. In
      addition, the Plan holds shares of DaVita Inc, the Plan Sponsor, which
      also qualifies as a party-in-interest.


(6)   Plan Termination

      Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
      right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
      ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100
      percent vested in their accounts.


(7)   Tax Status

      The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
      letter dated November 25, 1996, that the Plan and related trust are
      designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
      Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
      letter, however, the Plan's administrator believes that the Plan is
      designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
      requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
      included in the Plan's financial statements.


(8)   Reconciliation of Plan Financial Statements to the Form 5500

      The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per
      the financial statements to the Form 5500 at December 31, 2000:
