“My time here at Wash U has been fantastic.  Being able to be around so many people who are passionate about patient care and nephrology was a blessing.  I’ve made life-long friends and mentors who have helped shape my training.  If I had to do it all over again, I would come here in a heartbeat.  We have had so many amazing experiences in St. Louis, as I married my wife, Monica, here at Forest Park, and got to celebrate with old and new friends.  We have made friends in the community and will look back on our time fondly.”

Juan is joining the Nephrology Associates of Central Florida. @JuanEduardoMD

“This year of fellowship in WashU has been very special to me for being able to achieve my goals and reach my dreams finally to become a transplant nephrologist.  I think I will have many cheerful fun memories to recall when it comes to living in St. Louis, many adventures and achievements, delicious food, travels, and good friends.”
