Delivering expert care with compassion and respect

The goal of the Division of Nephrology is to better the lives of patients with kidney disease and hypertension through sensitive, patient-focused medical care. All of our faculty members are exceptionally trained authorities in general nephrology, and together they provide the highest level of expertise in all areas of kidney disease and hypertension. We offer state-of-the-art treatments and maintain award-winning ratings for patient satisfaction.

Our philosophy is that we can best serve people with kidney disease through outstanding clinical care, with an added emphasis on continuous research into mechanisms and treatment of kidney disease, and by training the next generation of compassionate and highly skilled nephrologists. We are proud of the national recognition we've received for innovative clinical programs and novel approaches to education.

As a part of Northwell Health—the largest healthcare provider and private employer in New York state—we have access to unparalleled resources and expertise. Our nephrology experts provide exceptional, comprehensive care—from initial consultation and diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. In fact, North Shore University Hospital has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report for excellence in nephrology.
