Kadlec Clinic
Nephrology
welcomes new
physician
Puneet Tandon, MD, has joined
Fareed Arif, MD, and Nalini Vassa,
MD, at Kadlec Clinic Nephrology.
They are all board certified in both
nephrology and internal medicine.
Nephrology
(a subspecialty
of internal medicine) focuses on
kidney diseases.
A
nephrologist
diagnoses and
treats kidney diseases, including
both the conditions these diseases
can produce such as hypertension,
and diseases that can cause kidney
failure such as diabetes mellitus
and polycystic kidney disease. A
nephrologist also cares for patients
following renal transplant.
Care for adult patients with
kidney disease is available at
Kadlec Clinic Nephrology.
Drs. Tandon, Arif and Vassa
believe that kidney disease
is under-recognized and early
recognition and treatment is crucial
for better outcomes.
