Bio

Dr. Weltman is fascinated by Nephrology. The kidneys – two relatively small organs – are responsible for keeping the entire body in perfect, real-time balance. Even the smallest disruption of that balance puts a person in significant danger. Finding the cause of potential imbalances and restoring harmony is exciting and satisfying for him as a physician and can mean the difference between suffering and comfortable health for patients. Dr. James Weltman’s areas of special interest include dialysis access, glomerular diseases, kidney stones, electrolyte disturbances, and management of chronic kidney disease.

Dr. Weltman believes that we are affected by disease far beyond the physical malady itself. Illness brings with it a high level of psychological stress and uncertainty for family members as well as the patients themselves. Patients and their loved ones deserve care that is accessible, compassionate, and respectful. They must be provided time and space to fully grasp the diagnosis, the treatment plan, and the expected prognosis. This is what Dr. Weltman would expect from a physician treating his own family members, and it is how he treats his patients as well, as if they are his family.
