September's Featured Physician Article
When Dr. Chettri was in 10th grade, he
was inspired to become a physician when he knew he wanted to help care
for the health of others. Born in Bhutan, he went on to obtain his
medical education from King George's Medical
University, India and then completed a three-year post-graduate course in
General Practice at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Katmandu,
Nepal. Before immigrating to the United States, Dr. Chettri worked extensively at international medical relief organizations.
After
arriving in Arizona, he completed his residency in Family Medicine at
Phoenix Baptist Hospital and chose the specialty because he appreciates
providing care to the "whole individual" in a medically-oriented way.
He continues to dedicate time for International Health
as the Chairman of the Board for the Association of Bhutanese in America and is also an active board member for the Refugee Immigration Relief Center. In addition, he happens to be the Founding President of the Bhutanese Community
in Arizona.
In July
2009, Dr. Chettri joined Your Family Physician. He considers himself a
jovial man who takes incredible pride in practicing medicine. He
emphasizes the importance of caring for patients in a very kind,
empathetic manner and wants them to know that he, "gives all of his best
work to help his patients". To stay healthy, he recommends patients to
"watch what they eat and exercise, at least 5 times per week".
One of the most unique events as a physician he has experienced
involved a story about a very unique delivery. A woman arrived with
normal labor symptoms but soon complications arose. Without the
assistance of any diagnostic equipment, Dr. Chettri made the decision
to perform a ceasarean delivery. He soon discovered the baby grew to
full-term completely outside of the uterus--which only occurs in about
about a .0003% of pregnancies. Miraculously, Dr. Chettri happily
reports that both mom and baby survived and returned home healthy.
When Dr. Chettri is not seeing patients and assisting newly arrived
refugees resettle, he likes to travel, enjoy nature, and listen to jazz
and rock music.
