Peter McCauley, MD

Cyril Kuriakose, MD, FASN

Rubin Chandran, MD, FASN

Smiling man wearing glasses and a cowboy hat.

Dr. McCauley is a board-certified nephrologist who completed his nephrology training at the University of California, Irvine. He has been working continuously as a practicing nephrologist since 1997 and has almost 30 years of experience taking care of patients with kidney disease. He has a unique perspective as a nephrologist and truly understands what patients are going through, having personally dealt with kidney disease all his life. He started dialysis as a teenager, and 45 years later with a functioning kidney transplant he is an inspiration to us all, and proof that the battle against kidney disease can be fought and won. He lives in Roseburg and is affectionately known in town as the “cowboy doctor”.

W. Kalani Ieremia

Stephanie Empson, DNP, FNP-C

Cyril Kuriakose, MD, FASN

A dialysis patient’s vascular access is their lifeline, and for this reason we have a dedicated vascular access coordinator whose primary responsibility is to monitor our patients’ fistulas and grafts. Kalani started his dialysis career in 2003 as a Patient Care Technician (PCT), and for 10 years he oversaw the vascular access program for the largest nephrology practice in the Pacific NW (~1500 dialysis patients). Like Dr. McCauley he has personal experience with kidney disease, having been on hemodialysis & peritoneal dialysis himself, and now has a functioning kidney transplant. He works closely with the dialysis staff and the surgeons to proactively address any vascular access issues. He is ultrasound-trained, and visits patients at the dialysis units regularly to do ultrasound evaluations of accesses.
