I have an offices at St Johns Moross, Roseville and Farmington Hills. I am the medical director of St Clair Nephrology Research.

COI: I am on the speakers bureau for Astute Medical. I have an ownership stake in four Davita run dialysis clinics and one vascular access center. Astellas paid for my trip to Australia (Feb '15) for me to speak at one meeting and three hospitals. Takeda Oncology made a donation to MM4MM the program that is taking me to Mount Everest in 2018.
