I would like to introduce myself to you and your family. My name is Feliciano Serrano M.D. and I am an ACGME Certified Physician also specialized in Nephrology (Kidney) and Endo-Vascular (Veins and Arteries) interventions whose purpose in life is to make a difference in my community, the Los Angeles, CA. basin where there are a large number of underserved families in such dire need of specialized medical care. I am a native Angelino and understand the demographic make up and inherent medical needs of my patients. I’ve been honored to receive numerous philanthropic awards and recognition for pro bono medical services rendered over the past decade. My wonderful parents always taught me to help the less fortunate around me and I have always tried to follow their lead in this regard. On a more casual note I am a true Trojan at heart and had the unique opportunity to attend both the University of Southern California obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences and subsequently The USC Keck School of Medicine completing a Doctor of Medicine degree. After graduation I finished an internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the White Memorial Medical Center. Throughout this experience, I stayed focus on my intention to help and contribute to the same neighborhood that shaped my views and in which I was raised. Yet despite having achieved many of my educational goals, I was not convinced that I had the necessary tools to help the sickest people in my community and thus I made the decision to specialize in kidney disease and later sub-specialized in endovascular interventions which are now my true passion.

Specialized Training

One of the highlights of my career was having the distinct opportunity to train in New England under Nobel Laureates and world-renowned professors. During my Kidney Fellowship I was designated to lecture at the Harvard Brigham and Women’s hospital. Concurrently I was awarded a National Institute of Health (NIH) fellowship that gave me the opportunity to study why people with kidney disease don’t live as long as people with normal functioning kidneys. This research was later published in several recognized Nephrology and Cardiology journals. After my Kidney Fellowship I was accepted into the highly competitive Endovascular / Interventional Nephrology fellowship program at the University of Arizona, College of Medicine. At the time I was fortunate enough to be one of two doctors admitted to this program from an application pool of roughly 200 physicians. That allowed me the distinction of being the first physician in the United States to have obtained a subspecialty fellowship certificate from an ACGME accredited fellowship program for this unique subspecialty having to do with vascular interventions and involving everything from repairing veins and arteries to putting wires in the human heart in order to place stents and open up major vessels. As a fully bilingual (Spanish) physician, I am capable of providing a high level of understanding to the many Angelinos in the inner city who suffer from kidney disease and/or those who require vascular or interventional procedures. Finally and most importantly my life’s mission is to cure and I am here to serve all. I am grateful for your consideration.
