Professional Statement
George M. Dolson, MD, is associate professor of Medicine for the section of Nephrology. Dr. Dolson earned his medical degree at St. Louis University School of Medicine. He completed his residency at The University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston, where he also had a nephrology post-doctoral fellowship. His areas of interest include acute and chronic renal failure, end-stage renal disease, electrolytes and hypertension. Dr. Dolson consistently takes part in the National Kidney Foundation conference for patient care, and he provides special expertise in optimizing treatment for dialysis patients.Websites
