About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I am an assistant professor in the University of Florida Division of Nephrology, Hypertension and Renal Transplantation, within the areas of internal medicine and nephrology, and I am board certified in both. I specialize in the treatment and research of glomerular diseases, and I am committed to improving patient care by providing access to novel treatment options via clinical studies for glomerular diseases. I completed medical school in 1995 at State University of New York Health Science Center and completed my internal residency at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, where I subsequently completed a nephrology fellowship. I also completed a glomerular fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center.
