Ongoing progress in medicine and technology enabled us  to live longer and more productive lives.  Add to that the lifestyle changes that occurred within the last decades and one can easily understand why cardiovascular diseases emerged as the main health problem in developed nations.  

Chronic conditions like atherosclerosis and diabetes have a great impact on the natural loss of kidney function as we age. In turn, we started to understand that a poorly functioning kidney is one of the most important risk factor for cardiovascular conditions like heart attack, stroke or heart failure.  It's been estimated that one in ten Americans has different degrees of kidney impairment ranging from hypertension or loss of protein in the urine to advanced kidney failure requiring support with dialysis or transplantation.  

Our new practice provides state-of-the-art, integrated nephrology services.  Strategic partnership with locally and nationally recognized health-care entities gives our patients access to safe, efficient, and compassionate treatment. We will be happy to work with all the referring physicians in the area to increase the awareness of kidney diseases and treatment options available in our  community.
