Welcome to My Internet Home Page

Hi! My name is Simar Dhaliwal, MD. I am a Kidney Specialist. Kidney Specialists evaluate and treat patients with acute kidney failure, chronic kidney disease, severe hypertension, chronic kidney failure requiring kidney replacement therapy (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation), recurrent kidney stones, inherited kidney disorders, cystic kidney disorders, and electrolyte disorders.

A wide variety of treatments have recently become available to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease or lessen the consequences if you already have advanced disease. My job is to help you take advantage of these advances to allow you to continue to lead a healthy and productive life.

About Me

I was born in India and was raised in a family of physicians. I was exposed to medicine when I was very young. I was inspired by my father who is also a physician and decided to follow in his footsteps. I volunteered in my father’s clinic as I was growing up and saw the differences he had made in his patients' lives. I obtained my medical degree in Government Medical College, Patiala, Punjab, India. I immigrated to the United States and completed my internship and residency in Internal Medicine at University of Massachusetts School of Medicine, Worcester, MA. I also obtained my fellowship in Nephrology at the University of Massachusetts.

My special interests include chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure. I decided to join Kaiser Permanente as it offers me the unique opportunity to concentrate on patient care and not have to worry about running a private clinic. Kaiser Permanente has an ideal mix of patient care and the fellow physicians are great people to work with. We work as a team to provide the best possible care to our patients.

I am married and have two lovely children. Both my husband and I love to travel. We have been visiting California almost every year for the past nine years and decided to move here for the wide array of outdoor activities it offers. Apart from traveling, I also love to read, listen to music, hike in the mountains and cook for my family. In addition to English, I am also fluent in Punjabi and Hindi. I can also understand Urdu.

My Philosophy of Care

I believe in forming a partnership with my patients to provide quality care. I see my role as to provide as much medical information as I could and let my patients make the decision that is right for them. I will remain supportive and respectful of the patient’s decision regarding their care.

Thank you for visiting my home page. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and I look forward to seeing you.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
