Professional Summary:

I am the medical director of the hemodialysis program at Erie County Medical Center (ECMC). In this role, I am involved in all aspects of patient care, safety and quality. I also have an active outpatient practice and care for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), glomerulonephritis, hypertension, polycystic kidney disease, electrolyte abnormalities, anemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

My clinical research focuses on understanding the mechanisms and treatment options for anemia and acid base disturbances in ESRD hemodialysis patients.

In collaboration with UB’s Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, I have been involved in translational research investigating the mechanisms, risk factors and pathophysiology of erythropoietin dosing and resistance in ESRD patients.

I have conducted multiple investigator initiated studies evaluating the development of metabolic alkalosis in patients with ESRD, its correlation to the risk of sudden cardiac death, and the effects of bicarbonate and sodium on blood pH.

My involvement in clinical informatics includes serving as an adjunct faculty member and site program director for UB’s ACGME-accredited clinical informatics fellowship program. In this role, I provide medical leadership by assisting physicians in the delivery of patient care, medical education and research, and advancing clinical quality and safety initiatives through the use of clinical information systems. I am currently involved in projects evaluating methods to increase interoperability of electronic health records across hospital systems, optimizing dialysis electronic health records, developing methods and procedures to reduce note cloning in medical documentation, understanding the patient impact of open notes, and evaluating the evolutionary role of physician leadership in healthcare informatics.

I currently serve on the Graduate Medical Education Committee as one of the representatives from Erie County Medical Center and are also a member of the Clinical Research Governance Committee which is committed to standardizing research policies across the healthcare system.

I supervise nephrology fellows, internal medicine residents and medical students.
