Worth knowing
- Some listings describe her as an interventional cardiologist. No source found supports a cardiology credential; all sources identify her as an interventional nephrologist. azuravascularcare.com
- Most of her biographical detail comes from a single employer-written bio that is republished on several practice websites, so those pages are not independent confirmations of each other. Doximity separately lists her residency and fellowship dates and adds a Texas license not mentioned in the employer bio. doximity.com
- Some third-party data-aggregator listings tie her NPI to practice details that could not be confirmed, including a VA Medical Center affiliation and a plastic surgery group. These appear likely to be aggregator errors and should be confirmed with her office directly. caredash.com
- Researchers could not complete checks of peer-reviewed publications, recent news coverage, or state licensing board and legal records before reaching a search limit. No negative items appeared, but this should not be read as a clean record; patients can verify her license directly with the Nevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine. npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov

A word of caution about these numbers
A payment does not mean your doctor is compromised or acting unethically. Most of these entries are drug samples left for patients, or lunch brought in for the office staff, and the amounts are usually small. Research funding and speaking at medical meetings are also normal parts of a clinical career.
As a rough guide, a total under $15,000 a year is usually not a concern. Much larger sums, especially from one company whose product your doctor recommends to you, are worth asking about. You are allowed to ask.
