Looking For Orange County Nephrologist Willing To Allow Patients With Hb 12-13

I am a currently licensed M.D. with ESRD on dialysis. My current nephrologist does not value a patient's desire for quality of life and insists on keeping patients anemic. I am looking for an orange county nephrologist who is willing to allow patients to have a hemoglobin 12-13. I am willing to accept cardiovascular risks (if any). My B.P. is under control and do not have malignancy or diabetes. My internist has put me through a full speed treadmill test and echocardio. and all tested without ischemia. I play tennis, walk 2 miles daily, plus a variety of other exercises.
