Overview

I enjoy taking care of patients with a wide variety of kidney disorders. My clinical interests include glomerulonephritis, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, cancer-related kidney disease, and electrolyte disorders. I enjoy working as a team and serve as the clinic director of the nephrology fellows clinic. My goal is to ensure each patient is offered evidence-based treatments and is well informed and educated about kidney health.
