TMH Springfield Clinic Welcomes New Physician to Taylorville

The Springfield Clinic at Taylorville Memorial Hospital recently welcomed a new doctor to its staff. Dr. Chiniya Thapa recently moved to Taylorville and is a physician at the Clinic, but has been on quite the journey to get here. Dr. Thapa said he was born and raised in Nepal and went to medical school in China, but his dream of becoming a doctor started when he was very young.

Thapa said he's been in the states a while now and has come to find he likes the small town feel better than a larger city because he gets to know people on a more personal level.

 

Thapa said, while he is a traditional physician who sees patients for all reasons, he is more intrigued by the patients that have problems regarding their heart and lungs.

Thapa appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
