I am trained as a general nephrologist and as an epidemiologist. I have interest in kidney stones prevention and in dialysis in general. I did extra training in hemodialysis prior to working as a community nephrologist for 14 years. I have significant experience in caring for dialysis patients including in acute and chronic renal failure and in various settings comprising intensive care unit, emergency department, chronic outpatient and home dialysis (this includes both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis).

I care for patients in my general nephrology clinics twice a week. In that clinic I see patients with acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (hereditary or acquired), complications of chronic kidney disease, hypertension, electrolytes anomalies, glomerulonephritis or kidney stones. I am an attending for the nephrology service provided at Erie County Medical Center and at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. I oversee care for chronic outpatient hemodialysis individuals. I also provide care for patients on home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis both at Erie County Medical Center and Clevehill Dialysis Unit (DaVita). I am currently the medical director for the home dialysis program at Erie County Medical Center.

My research interests are with infection prevention in dialysis patients including vaccination, kidney stone prevention, interventions to delay end stage renal disease in chronic kidney disease population.

I am involved with clinical teaching while on inpatients rotation. Teaching is provided to medical students, residents and fellows. I participate also in the renal fellows’ longitudinal clinic.
