I have 15 years of experience in Pediatric Nephrology. Treating kidney disease from the tiniest baby to the soon-to adult, engaging in research that will help improve patient care is my passion. The smile on the faces of our little patients motivates me to work towards providing better care. My areas of clinical and research interest are chronic hemodialysis, chronic peritoneal dialysis, and neonatal nephrology.
