Vicky M. Parente

Overview

I went into pediatrics as a specialty in medicine because I want for all children to have the opportunity to be healthy and happy adults. I teach trainees on health disparities and bias and have an interest in the integration of health disparity interventions with ongoing health care reform endeavors such as patient safety, quality improvement, and evidence-based medicine practice. I believe partnering these efforts can help medicine move beyond documenting the existence of disparities and towards decreasing them. I am committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce in medicine that advocates for our patients, their families, and our communities. I love working with children and have a full house at home with two dog-children (yes, they are totally spoiled) and a son named Ethan. I enjoy cooking, gardening, running and getting lost in a good book.

I am a pediatric nephrologist and work with children with kidney disease. Some of the conditions that we see include congenital malformations of the kidney and the bladder, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney filters), and children who are on dialysis or who received kidney transplantation because of kidney failure. I listen carefully to parents when they bring their children to the clinic because they know their children better than any other person, and they are the best advocates for their child. I collaborate a lot with the other doctors in the clinic. Rest assured, when you visit our clinic and I am not around, the doctor who is seeing you knows everything about your child. This is a group practice with a very caring multidisciplinary team. Dr. Gbadegesin is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, Nephrotic Syndrome, Minimal Change Disease, Glomerulonephritis, and Kidney Transplant.
