BIO

According to Dr. Venu Botla, there is never a dull moment in nephrology. The diversity of the specialty was one of the things that attracted him to this field of medicine. However, it was a belief that dialysis patients were not receiving optimal care that drew Dr. Botla to his subspecialty. Dr. Botla is one of KSOSN’s interventional nephrologists, providing essential vascular access procedures for dialysis patients.

As a nephrology fellow, Dr. Botla observed that dialysis patients need dedicated physicians who are focused on maintaining their vascular access. Considered a dialysis patient’s lifeline, he could not think of a more important way to care for nephrology patients than tending to their vascular access. He was one of the first interventional nephrologists to practice in Nevada and currently serves as the Medical Director of Kidney Specialists Surgical Center. Dr. Botla also practices general nephrology and sees patients in the office, hospital, and dialysis unit.

A Chicago native, Dr. Botla did his early medical training in the Chicago area and completed his nephrology fellowship in Boston before moving to Las Vegas and joining KSOSN. Dr. Botla is Board Certified in Nephrology.
