My name is Dr. Gaytri Gandotra and I am Nephrologist, otherwise known as a kidney specialist. I currently practice here in sunny Southern California and have my own private office clinic where I see patients.

I believe that conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension can be prevented or slowed with early detection and treatment.
