John K. Maesaka, MD

For as long as I can remember, I was committed to life in the field of medicine. I was fortunate to have outstanding role models and teachers at all levels of my education, who inspired me to reach for lofty goals. I decided to specialize in nephrology because it provides me with the opportunity to translate research into clinical treatments to help people.

I see patients with a variety of kidney diseases, but have a special interest in treating people with diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, kidney stones, and all forms of electrolyte disturbances. I utilize all resources to successfully delay the natural progression of damaged kidneys.

When patients come to me, I take the time to address their individual concerns and effectively communicate treatment options. I collaborate with other specialists to streamline the care for our patients.

I conduct research to improve the diagnosis and outcomes for patients with hyponatremia. I have published several articles and reviews on this subject.
