Dr. Michael Ehijimeto Etomi, MD

Was under this doctor’s “care” for a full year and probably spent less than 15 minutes with him in that time. My kidney function steadily declined over that year, but his approach was basically to do labs every 3 months and wait. No real treatment plan. No biopsy was ever done to figure out the cause of my issues either, and when I brought it up he pooh-poohed the suggestion and said it wasn’t necessary. He gave me little to no information about my condition and I was basically flying blind the entire time. When my kidney function dropped down to around 20% he did finally put me on a blood pressure medication - one that gave me gout flare ups weekly. When I called his office to inform them of this and sent over labs from my PCP reflecting my sky-high uric acid, no one ever bothered to return my calls. Finally switched nephrologist and couldn’t be happier. Stay far away from Dr. Etomi if you value your kidneys.
