Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), relating to the registration of an additional
7,500,000 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;), of the Company, to be issued from time to time under the DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I am the Chief Legal Officer of the Company and I am familiar with the proceedings to date with respect to the proposed issuance of Common
Stock under the Plan. I, or attorneys under my supervision, have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such instruments, certificates, records, documents and questions of law, and
satisfied myself as to such matters of fact, as I have considered relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion set forth herein. In my examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies or by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the foregoing, and subject to the foregoing and the other limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, I
am of the opinion that: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">1. The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2. Each share of Common Stock subject to the Registration Statement will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable when
(i)&nbsp;the Registration Statement shall have become effective under the Securities Act; (ii)&nbsp;such share of Common Stock shall have been duly issued and delivered in a manner contemplated by the Plan; and (iii)&nbsp;a certificate in due and
proper form representing such share of Common Stock shall have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered to the person entitled thereto upon the Company&#146;s receipt of such consideration, as applicable, therefor (not less than
the par value thereof) in accordance with the Plan or, if any such share is to be issued in uncertificated form, the Company&#146;s books shall reflect the issuance of such share to the purchaser thereof upon the Company&#146;s receipt of such
consideration, as applicable, therefor (not less than the par value thereof) in accordance with the Plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing opinion is
limited to matters arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States of America. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I do not find
