About me

Dr. Raymond Hsu is a nephrologist who treats patients with a broad spectrum of kidney diseases, providing care in both inpatient and outpatient settings. In his clinic, he sees patients with all presentations of chronic kidney disease, difficult-to-control hypertension (high blood pressure), glomerulonephritis, pregnancy-related kidney diseases and other kidney disorders. He also treats patients with end-stage renal disease who are on long-term dialysis therapies, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Hsu's research uses administrative and clinical data to better understand which populations tend to be affected with acute and chronic renal diseases as well as their outcomes.

Hsu earned his medical degree from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He then completed a residency in internal medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, followed by a fellowship in nephrology at UCSF. He also has a master of advanced study degree in clinical research from UCSF.

      Dr. Hsu is a fantastic doctor! Smart, thorough and thoughtful and also friendly and kind. I've seen him many times and even had him perform a couple of kidney biopsies on me and he is always wonderful. When I had troubles with some of my earlier medicines that we tried, he worked hard to find one that worked for me. I'm grateful to have him as my kidney doctor.
