About

At Kathmandu Clinic, Dr. Pratistha Strong delivers primary care, osteopathic medicine, and integrative health services in Kirkwood, MO. She opened the practice in 2018, naming it after Kathmandu, Nepal, where she was born. Her husband Charles Strong, PharmD, helped launch the clinic and manages its operations behind the scenes.

Dr. Strong runs a solo medical micro-practice with no front desk staff or nurses. She treats the whole person, drawing on Vedic philosophy that views mind, body, and atman as inseparable parts of health. The clinic operates on a direct-pay, fee-for-service model with full price transparency. Paper charts keep patient records off the cloud and out of shared systems. Downstairs from the clinic, Meditation Studio 4 houses an infrared sauna available for sessions. A portion of clinic profits supports rural communities in Devghat, Nepal.
