I am a long time competitive endurance athlete. In recent years I began suffering from Rhabdomylosis, largely contingent on heat related weather conditions during races. I want to keep competing but want to avoid the risk of developing Rhabdo again. Dr. G. set out a comprehensive plan for identifying risk factors and an approach, post testing, to best position myself for further competition with an eye towards avoiding Rhabdo. I highly recommend Dr.G. for any athlete interested in understanding kidney health and how to avoid injury to your kidneys.

I want to say that Dr. Gheewala is an exceptional kidney specialist. Dr. Gheewala is patient and understanding. She also displays amazing bedside manner. If you are in the Austin area I would highly recommend you giving her a call. Being a kidney patient is scary at times, you need someone like Dr. Gheewala that is knowledgeable to have your back. I was skeptical about dialysis and entire process, Dr. Gheewala was there every step of the way and for that I am truly thankful. Hands down one of the best Nephrologist in Austin, Texas

Our deep gratitude to Dr. Raeeda Gheewala. My husband, a warrior from head and neck cancer, was experiencing continued creatinine elevation post-treatment with chemotherapy and radiation. The team of doctors we had could not find an underlying cause. Enter into the picture, Dr. Gheewala, who reviewed and analyzed all blood work and determined that Chris has acute kidney disease. Her bedside manner is gentle yet firm. The doctor continuously asks if we understand the diagnosis, root cause and going forward plan of action. Dr. Gheewala has given us back peace of mind and the light at the end of the tunnel. We highly recommend this gem!

If you are an athlete with fluid/electrolyte issues/questions, Dr. Gheewala is the one to see! As a hospitalist, I manage electrolyte issues/hyponatremia regularly. But when it came to my father, an aging but avid cyclist who rides in extreme heat and had recurrent issues with low sodium, I was outside my depth. General nephrology advice wasn’t working, and he ended up in the hospital - again. I was so excited to find Dr. Gheewala, and she did not disappoint! She offered thorough and thoughtful guidance, and formulated a practical plan for monitoring/managing his fluid and electrolyte balance in a way that will let him stay as active as he can - in any climate he desires - for as long as possible. Thank you Dr. Gheewala!!

Our session was extremely helpful in understanding my low sodium levels during moderate exercise and how to avoid extreme exercise in challenging weather conditions that could disrupt my body’s balance. Thank you very much for your assistance, and we’ll be in touch again if we require your expertise.
