“It gratifies me when I can provide
solutions to patients’ problems and
obtain positive outcomes for them.”
For Dr. Rosemary Reriani, medicine is a family tradition. She and all her sisters are doctors, inspired by having dealt with family illness when they were young. She is especially passionate about focusing on the function and diseases of the kidney.
“Nephrology is one of the most challenging subspecialties,” she said. “Kidney problems are a primary cause of hypertension, which is a universal problem, but also a controllable problem. Preventing hypertension can help patients avoid more serious, lifethreatening conditions.”
Dr. Reriani also is eager to treat patients based on findings from her ongoing research in hypertension in pregnancy and its effects on kidney function and proteinuria, a condition in which urine contains excess protein. She said Marshfield Clinic Health System offers “the opportunity to establish a well-developed, structured practice at an excellent facility.”
Dr. Reriani earned her medical degree at Wake Forest University-School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She completed her residency in internal medicine at Jefferson Medical College-Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, and a fellowship in nephrology and hypertension at the Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education, Rochester, Minnesota. She is board certified in internal medicine.
Dr. Reriani and her husband, Dr. Martin Reriani, critical care specialist, have two sons. She enjoys reading novels, cooking and travel.
