Family Medicine Interests

After years of practicing Orth/MSK med in Nepal, I wanted to broaden my skills and become a comprehensive physician capable of caring for everyone.  I hope to combine my MSK background with full spectrum primary care and possibly pursue Sports Medicine.

Why did you choose AFP?

I choose UPMC Altoona because of its strong commitment to broad spectrum Family Medicine, hands-on training and strong OMM training.  I had been to this area before and I like the beautiful mountain scenery, and the peaceful environment here reminds me of home in Nepal

Hobbies

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending quality time with my family.  I do love hiking.  I also like to play and watch cricket.  I also enjoy soccer.
