Meet the Nephrology Team

The division of nephrology consists of five full-time nephrologists, one pediatric nephrologist, one molecular biologist and ten practicing nephrologists who are integral participants in the division's clinical and educational activities. One full-time nephrologist specializes in renal transplantation and works closely with our transplant surgeons. Staff members run the renal, hypertension and transplant clinics at Rhode Island Hospital, attend consultation and inpatient services at Rhode Island and The Miriam hospitals, and carry out many teaching and research activities.
