Biography

I am a nephrologist and associate clinical professor of internal medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. With decades of experience in kidney care, I specialize in treating chronic kidney disease, dialysis management, and complex renal conditions.

I chose nephrology because it allows me to build long-term relationships with patients and help them navigate challenging health journeys. My goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care that empowers individuals to manage their health with confidence.
