Nephrologist Abayomi Sanusi, M.D., joins internal medicine faculty

USA Health is expanding its team of specialized physicians with nephrologist Abayomi Sanusi, M.D., who diagnoses, treats and manages diseases that impact the kidneys. He also is an assistant professor of internal medicine at the USA College of Medicine.

Sanusi received his medical degree from the University of Lagos College of Medicine in Lagos, Nigeria. The practice of nephrology initially piqued Sanusi’s interest while he was in medical school, so he later moved to the United States to receive advanced training.

Sanusi worked as a medical officer in Nigeria for four years before moving to the United States in 1992 to start an internal medicine residency at Harlem Hospital Medical Center in New York. Then, he spent 11 years working at hospitals and clinics across the southern United States before returning to New York to pursue a nephrology fellowship.

He completed a fellowship at the University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn in 2019. Most recently, he worked at Montgomery Kidney Specialists in Montgomery, Alabama. He is certified by the Nephrology Board of the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Sanusi sees patients at Mastin Internal Medicine. Call 251-470-5890 to make an appointment.
