Summary

I am currently based outside of Atlanta practicing Hospital medicine with Sound Physicians. My main interest in switching from nephrology to hospital medicine is to have more flexibility in my schedule and interest in implementing my nephrology training into hospital medicine. I have always had a strong interest in Nephrology and its physiology. With my residency background at a community hospital and my fellowship training at a large academic facility I am comfortable practicing in either setting, and have seen a wide range of patient population and diseases in both my training and current practice. I look forward to working with you and hoping my resume finds you well.
