#nephrologist #kidneyhealth #uvahealth • Daphne Knicely, MD, is a nephrologist that cares for patients with a wide range of kidney conditions. Her mother’s experience with dialysis – and the nephrologist that cared for her – greatly influenced Dr. Knicely’s path in medicine. With every patient, she considers their overall life and health factors, which informs her how to best treat their kidneys. • Find out more at: https://uvahealth.com/findadoctor/pro... • Transcript • Hi, I'm Daphne Knicely, and I'm a nephrologist at the University of Virginia. I see patients with kidney disease of all different types, from early-stage kidney disease up until dialysis. • My mother was a dialysis patient and on peritoneal dialysis. Her nephrologist really influenced me a lot. He just had the best bedside manner, and he actually looked at my mom as the whole person, not just her disease. And he really took the time to get to know our family. And that really influenced me that someone could be that compassionate. • I'd never got to know patients as closely as I did whenever I first started in outpatient hemodialysis. And I really got to see patients so frequently. I learned about their families. I learned about their kids. I've loved that unique part of medicine, and it just kind of drives me every day to see those patients. • I try to get to know them, what they've been going through. Kind of figure out what things have been going on in their life. What medicines are they taking? What led to this problem that's going on with the kidneys? My goal is to make dialysis just one piece of your life, but not your whole life.
