John Brouillette, M.D.

Dr. Brouillette attended the University of Florida in Gainesville.  He completed his degree in microbiology and cell science in 1989 and received his medical degree in 1993.  His postgraduate training consisted of internship and residency in Internal Medicine at UAB through 1996, with a year of further training as chief medicine resident for BHS Residency Program through June 1997. 

From 1997 – 1999 he attended Vanderbilt University where he completed fellowship training in Nephrology.   Upon his return to Birmingham, AL he joined Nephrology Associates, P.C. starting his career as a full time practicing nephrologist.  Since joining the practice he has become certified in 2003 by the American Society of Diagnostic Interventional Nephrology in performing hemodialysis vascular access procedures.   He is a perennial lecturer on kidney disease at medical centers across Birmingham and surrounding communities.  He remains active in various clinic research projects using informatics and has published multiple papers in the clinical nephrology literature.  Dr. Brouillette is a Fellow of the American Society of Nephrology, a member of the American College of Physicians, and is board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology. 

“The practice of nephrology stems from my inherent interest in human disease from an internist’s perspective while focusing specifically on kidney disease in patients with coexistent systemic illnesses.  My main area of interest in the practice of nephrology is caring for patients with chronic kidney disease and managing the metabolic changes and endocrinopathology that occurs with loss of kidney function over time; working with patients and their families to assist in the preservation of their kidneys as long as possible, but to also thoroughly prepare them physically and spiritually for renal replacement therapy if warranted. ”
