A world-class, freestanding hospital anchored by a broad, integrated network of community-based services and partners, The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio joined Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital in February of 2013 to ensure that the children of San Antonio and South Texas have access to world-class pediatric care.

A 2003 graduate of the College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur in Nepal, Dr. Nepal went on to perform his residency at the Institute of Medicine, Maharajgunj Hospital in 2007. Upon relocating to the United States, he completed his residency in pediatrics at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York in 2012. 

A Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP), he is board-certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). The mission of the ABP is to advance child health by certifying pediatricians who meet standards of excellence and are committed to continuous learning and improvement.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatric hospitalists are pediatricians who work primarily in hospitals. They care for children in many hospital areas, including the pediatric ward, labor and delivery, the newborn nursery, the emergency department, the neonatal intensive care unit, and the pediatric intensive care unit.
