My bio
I aim to establish paradigmatic care for patients with diabetic kidney disease as a clinical assistant professor in the University of Florida Division of Nephrology, Hypertension & Renal Transplantation. With new medications approved for glycemic control and blood pressure management, I believe that the nephrology and endocrinology communities can work together to reduce the incidence of kidney disease to improve public health. I treat patients for conditions dealing in nephrology. My clinical interests are general management of chronic kidney disease, diabetic kidney disease, glomerular disease and kidney stones.
I completed my medical degree at Cornell University, followed by a pediatric research fellowship at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. I enjoyed the combination of the patient interaction and the physiologic basis of medical practice in internal medicine, so I undertook an internal medicine residency at Yale University/New Haven Hospital then completed a fellowship in nephrology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. I am board certified in nephrology by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
I have been recognized several times by the UF College of Medicine and UF Division of Nephrology, Hypertension & Renal Transplantation for clinical and teaching excellence, such as receiving outstanding patient care, outstanding teacher and excellence in teaching in the classroom, to name a few.
I remain excited about nephrology practice, for it is ever diverting. Outside of practice, I enjoy following my favorite Boston sports teams, as I am originally from there.
