Biography

I am a board-certified?nephrologist?at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and treating patients with complex kidney conditions, including?polycystic kidney disease (PKD), chronic kidney disease, and other nephrological disorders. I lead the development of the first specialized clinic at Ohio State dedicated to treating patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

My patients can rely on me for high quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values.

In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about advancing kidney care through innovation and education. I serve as an?associate clinical professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Nephrology?at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
