About Me
Chief, Division of Pediatric Nephrology
Medical Director, Pediatric Dialysis Unit, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital
As a board-certified pediatric nephrologist, I treat a wide range of kidney diseases, among which, proteinuria, hematuria, nephrotic syndrome, kidney stones, renal insufficiency, inflammatory diseases of the kidneys, and hypertension are the most common. We provide dialysis and kidney transplantation. Anything that goes wrong with the kidneys can present in a myriad of ways, from minor symptoms like swelling (known as edema), to very significant symptoms of renal insufficiency.
Every day my patients help me become a better listener. They keep me younger and inspire me to look for new ways to create happy moments during their doctor’s visit. I like to see kids bounce back from their illness quickly. The recognition I get from my patients is one of my greatest accomplishments.
I like arts and nature, and enjoy reading, painting and traveling.
