Summary

I retired from the full time private practice of nephrology in Philadelphia in 2017 . My wife Susan and I moved to a pleasant 55+ community in southern California. I then took several Nephrology locum tenens assignments until the onset of the Covid pandemic in 2020. I am enjoying retirement but also miss the challenge of clinical practice.
