    I believe that Dr. Thapa took me seriously. He listened and he had good comments. I had good faith in him, which I have not always had in my past experience. I felt that he was very compassionate.

    Dr. Thapa took time with us, explaining that he likes to take a least-invasive approach first to see if that works before doing more aggressive procedures. We have experience with the aggressive procedures he was referencing -- those have not helped in the long run. So we were open to his more measured approach, and and are feeling more hopeful, and less frustrated, under his care.

    Dr. Thapa is the 3rd pain management physician I have seen. He was such a surprise because he was so honest and sincere, explained everything in what I would call "laymen's terms" without being condescending. Needless to say I was extremely impressed with Dr. Thapa who by the way was recommended by a neighbor. I have complete confidence in Dr. Thapa

    This was the first time Dr. Thapa took the time to explain a procedure that the providers at this clinic would "mention" as an option. It may have been because I had someone on my phone listening and offering information. [redacted] I do like that he pulled up MRI (first time) and didn't stare and type into the computer during the visit. He explained a procedure very well.
