Fellow of the American Society of Nephrology Steven M. Steinberg, MD completed nephrology fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital in 1974 following internal medicine residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego. Dialysis access creation for end-stage renal disease patients coordinates with the general and vascular surgeons at Pacific Coast Surgical Group for arteriovenous fistula and graft placement. Dr. Steinberg served as Director of the Sharp Memorial Hospital Kidney Transplant program and as CEO of Balboa Nephrology Medical Group in San Diego from 1998 through 2018, with a current Hillcrest office listing at 4060 Fourth Avenue Suite 700. His medical degree is from New York Medical College, class of 1968, and clinical affiliation remains with Sharp Memorial Hospital for inpatient nephrology consults. Patients requiring sub-acute dialysis transitions after hospital discharge are placed at facilities such as Balboa Nursing and Rehabilitation Center with transport-based hemodialysis coordination. The highest-complexity work in this practice is kidney transplant candidacy evaluation and post-transplant immunosuppression management, including rejection surveillance, tacrolimus trough dosing, and chronic allograft nephropathy workup for patients referred into the Sharp transplant program.
