Thank you, Dr Shah, for your support of and contributions to the NephU Community
We appreciate all you do every day to help patients with kidney disease and their loved ones.
When you see someone every week, you get to know them as a person, not just as a patient. To me, that’s a unique and gratifying aspect of nephrology, which is one reason I knew that nephrology was for me.”
