Joseph Bast, MD, knew from a young age that he wanted to be a doctor – a surgeon, he thought. But as an undergrad, he was inspired to take a closer look at a different specialty while working in a renal physiology lab. “That’s where I met my mentor, essentially, and he was amazing,” Dr Bast said. “His basic research on the physiology of the inside of the kidneys is what really spurred my interest.” As a nephrologist at Methodist Physicians Clinic – Nephrology, Dr Bast is particularly interested in helping patients navigate in-home dialysis. “It gives them some autonomy into their treatments,” he said. “But also, I think it gives them a much better quality of life.
