About

Amar V. Patel, MD delivers board-certified nephrology to Chula Vista's Broadway corridor from 416 Broadway, specializing in chronic kidney disease, electrolyte disorders, dialysis management, and kidney transplant care. As a dual-certified internist and nephrologist, he manages the cardiorenal intersection where hypertensive kidney disease overlaps with cardiovascular risk — a clinical axis he shares with cardiac specialists in the South Bay at Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego. A New York University undergraduate who earned his medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine in 2012, he completed his internal medicine residency at Rochester General Hospital and his nephrology fellowship at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn. He joined Balboa Nephrology Medical Group in 2019 and holds privileges at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital, with acute kidney presentations requiring immediate evaluation routed to Sharp Rees-Stealy Chula Vista Urgent Care for stabilization outside scheduled appointments. The practice provides certified interventional nephrology including hemodialysis access creation and maintenance, peritoneal dialysis catheter management, and renal biopsy under ultrasound guidance for glomerular disease staging.
