About Me
Amy Yau, MD, treats patients with kidney diseases at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
As a nephrologist, I’m passionate about diagnosing and managing kidney conditions to improve my patients’ quality of life. I am a certified hypertension specialist through the AHSCP and also specialize in treating patients with kidney stone disease, electrolyte disorders, and patients with kidney disease and cancer (onco-nephrology).
I value a team-based approach, and my patients can count on me to be a reliable partner in their health care journeys. I believe the first step in building a meaningful relationship is establishing trust and effective communication. I strive to educate patients and their families about their specific kidney disease, and I collaborate with each patient to develop a comprehensive care plan to address their individual goals.
