Hypertension Clinic

We provide secondary hypertension evaluation and management, treatment for renal vascular hypertension (when kidney artery narrows and leads to high blood pressure) and when patients have difficulty controlling their high blood pressure.

Transplant Clinic

In close collaboration with Transplant Center at Mayo Clinic we are able to offer all pre-transplant evaluation locally by a Nephrologist who is also an active member of the Mayo Clinic Post-Transplant Committee. Most of the workup is done locally, which helps in the smooth transition of care from pre-transplant chronic kidney disease to post-transplant state. Once the kidney/pancreas transplant is done, then the patients follow up locally without the need for frequent visits to Mayo Clinic. All of the long-term transplant care is done locally based on the exact same protocols as at Mayo Clinic.

Fluid and electrolyte abnormalities

We help manage and treat hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, renal tubular acidosis, hypercalcemia and other disorders including workup of diabetes insipidus, polyuria, etc.

We work closely with world renowned physicians and investigators at Mayo Clinic, Rochester to provide cutting edge care for Polycystic Kidney Disease.
