In addition to its growing network of medical offices and dialysis centers, Peninsula Kidney Associates has expanded to include other services patients might need such as renal ultrasound, vascular access, CKD education, and electronic health records. The providers also provide services for hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home dialysis therapies, and renal transplantation referral.
In 1996, Dr. Siu-Post graduated with her medical degree from the Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. She then went on to perform her residency in internal medicine and her fellowship in nephrology at North Shore University Hospital in 1999 and 2002, respectively.
Subsequent to her education, the doctor attained board certification in internal medicine and nephrology through the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Nephrology is a specialty of medicine and pediatrics that concerns itself with the kidneys. It is the study of normal kidney function and kidney disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy. Nephrologists have advanced training in treating kidney disease. They diagnose and treat kidney failure, as well as help patients by prescribing medications, offering special diet advice, and coordinating dialysis care when the time comes.
