Best Nephrology Specialists in Jamaica, NY

I am a nephrologist with a specialization in hypertension. My field of interest is obstetric nephrology. My practice and research endeavors focus on the care of women with hypertension and/or kidney disease who are currently pregnant or planning to be pregnant. Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disease of pregnancy that can have devastating effects on mother and child. Although this syndrome dates back to the times of Hippocrates, modern medicine has yet to fully understand all of its mechanisms to be able to stop them. At the Weill Cornell Hypertension Center, our reseearch team studies women with hypertension during pregnancy in order to help shed more light into possible biomarkers, mechanisms and therapies for preeclampsia. Pregnancy, especially when it is complicated by hypertension and/or kidney disease, can be a very trying time. Our philosophy is to partner with the obstetricians to help our patients with compassionate and state-of-the-art care.

"I am physician trained to treat people with kidney problems. It is a high honor and distinct privilege to serve such patients and my goal is to provide superb care. In addition to patient care, I am also an active researcher focusing on kidney transplant rejection. Being involved in kidney transplant research helps me advise my patients on their best available treatment options."

As a nephrologist, I strive to provide excellent care to patients with kidney disease as well as kidney transplant recipients. I also conduct research on characterizing the relationship of the microbiome and complications in patients with kidney disease and kidney transplant recipients. My work is currently funded by an NIH K23 career development award, an NIH R21 exploratory/development award, and a National Kidney Foundation Young Investigator Research Grant. I am also heavily involved in mentoring and training future nephrologists, allowing me to keep up-to-date on the latest treatments and to apply the latest medical advances to my patients.
