Biography
I am David Li, MD. I am a board-certified nephrologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center specializing in cardio-renal-metabolic kidney disease and glomerulonephritis diseases.
I chose a career in medicine to help people through some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. I understand that receiving a kidney diagnosis can be frightening for patients, and I am dedicated to supporting them and their families by providing high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based care.
I chose academic medicine and the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center because of the opportunity to work alongside expert specialists who push me to be a better physician. I am also passionate about medical education, and it’s an honor to help educate the next generation of physicians.
