Oscar Garcia Valencia, M.D.

I believe in providing comprehensive, patient-centered kidney care that combines clinical excellence, preventive strategies and clear communication. My approach focuses on early identification and management of kidney disease, slowing disease progression, reducing complications and improving quality of life. Through shared decision-making and collaboration with other providers, I strive to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes while respecting their values and goals of care.
