Nephrology

DR. SASTRY has been practicing nephrology in the community for 18 years. His work mainly centers around slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease and avoiding hemodialysis. A graduate of Wayne State University School of Medicine, he combines Midwestern sensibility with the wealth of knowledge gained from residency training in internal medicine and subsequent fellowship in nephrology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. His passion for the field has extended into his work with the Florida Society of Nephrology, having served on the executive board since 2009 and President of the FSN from 2022-2024, advocating for practice of nephrology in the state of Florida.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE.

Our practice originally began as Nephrology Associates of Sarasota in the 1970s and ultimately joined Florida Kidney Physicians, a statewide group in 2022. We have 8 physicians locally in Sarasota and are very active in the community with some of our physicians volunteering in the community specialty clinic to serve indigent patients. We have a long tradition of serving the community and commitment to the treatment of chronic kidney disease in Sarasota.

HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUR PATIENTS?

We strive to avoid dialysis. Our physicians and sta are committed to using the latest studies and innovations to help our patients get healthier.
