His goal is to provide excellent, compassionate care and to give people the tools they need to prevent complications from kidney disease and slow its progression.

He strives to help take away the worry and anxiety patients feel, assuring them that they have a partner who is there to help manage all the complexities of their disease.

Dr. Khanal sees patients with all forms of kidney issues. He has a particular interest in peritoneal dialysis, a home dialysis option that can be more convenient for patients. He is also interested in kidney stone prevention and performs metabolic evaluations to determine why stones are forming in the first place, and what diet and medication changes are necessary to keep them from coming back.
