I am a board-certified nephrologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of kidney-related conditions including acute kidney injury, chronic renal insufficiency, cystic kidney diseases and pyelonephritis. I also provide care for patients undergoing renal dialysis and those with complex kidney disorders.
