Pratistha Strong, DO

Dr. Pratistha Strong is an osteopathic physician who runs Kathamandu Clinic, a solo medical micro-practice she started in Kirkwood, Missouri.

Born in Kathmandu, Nepal, she carries a worldview that draws from both the East and the West into her work. She believes a person's mind, body, and ātman, the Sanskrit term for one's inner self or soul, all deserve attention when it comes to health. Her medical training grew out of that same heritage. She stays committed to those Eastern principles in her own life and encourages her patients toward the same kind of balance.

A wife and mother, she also writes, gardens, and cares about eating real food.
