About Me
As an onco-nephrologist, I see patients with kidney dysfunction, hypertension and electrolyte disorders caused by cancer or cancer therapies. Onco-nephrology is a newer but growing specialty.
Kidney function is a complex interaction of medications, underlying medical conditions and dietary habits. When a patient is fighting cancer, this interaction becomes even more complex. Maintaining healthy kidney function is essential in order to receive lifesaving cancer treatments. I provide all my patients with individualized care to ensure that kidney injuries can be identified early and reversed so that cancer treatments can continue.
Unfortunately, cancer patients who have renal dysfunction are excluded from most clinical trials. It is estimated that almost one third of cancer patients have some degree of renal dysfunction. I am very passionate about helping these patients overcome their kidney conditions so that they can focus on their fight against cancer.
When I proposed initiating an onco-nephrology clinic here at Ohio State, I was granted all the help, clinic space and resources within a week. It’s this rapid response and devotion to patient care that makes me proud to work at an institution like Ohio State.
When I’m not working I enjoy traveling, reading and fitness. I’m also a season ticket holder for the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Columbus Crew.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

This is probably the best doctor I've ever seen in terms of time spent, knowledge of my conditions, willingness to make sure I understood my situation and what I needed to do going forward
Very knowledgeable,kind ,caring personality.
I feel so lucky to switch to see Dr. Prosek. He was so patient and explained every question that I asked. He gave me the very detailed instructions on how to get the BP readings. And answered my questions about the test results after the visit! I can tell that Dr Prosek is very care about my health and does everything he can to improve my health!
All good
Didn't feel rushed and felt like my concerns were taken care of or answers answers
Dr spent time answering questions on our level and gave good explanations. Did not act like he was in a big hurry to leave the room and be done. Did recommend a med be discontinued and a different one started that would be not as hard on the kidneys.
Thoroughly explain my test results
Excellent, answered all questions, took time to explain issues, very knowledgeable, very good personality.
He is quite interested in his specialty and in treating patients professionally and earnestly developing a lasting relationship.
The Doctor was great. He showed concern for my problem and he discussed my problem in detail and answered all my questions to make me well informed on what is going on with health issues.
One of the most caring and concerned doctor ever!
Thorough and professional
Had to talk to another intern - No help! Prosek does not hear anything I say! Very dismissive of me! Told me "we are just waiting for the other shoe to drop" gives no hope, or help!
All good.
All good.
This being my initial appointment he was extremely knowledgeable and informative.
My mind was put at ease regarding my condition. I have switched specialists for my first dr. didn't explain clearly to me regarding the trending results and results of my tests. (Fluctuation of the numbers).
WE work very well together. He has done a very good job with my problem.
