Nibash Budhathoki, MD

“I became an oncologist because I have experienced personal tragedy due to cancer. Having seen what patients and their family members go through during the most challenging times of their lives, I wanted to help people in their journey.”

Dr. Nibash Budhathoki, MBBS joined the June E. Nylen Cancer Center in 2021 from NYU Langone Hospital in Long Island, New York. Dr. Budhathoki had previously worked for two years as a physician in rural setting in Nepal and found that experience very gratifying and fulfilling. It was important to him to provide cancer care services in underserved areas hence, choosing JENCC as it is the only cancer center in the Siouxland region that provides comprehensive cancer care to patients. Dr. Budhathoki was also impressed that our clinic provides opportunities of clinical trials to patients.
Dr. Budhathoki considers himself hard working, compassionate, empathetic, and always puts his patients first. His parents were farmers who travelled into the city for better educational opportunities for him and his siblings and invested heavily in their education. Dr. Budhathoki and his siblings are the first-generation high school graduates in their family.

Dr. Budhathoki is married. His wife is also a physician, a hospitalist for one of the local hospitals. He enjoys being outdoors and loves playing sports, especially tennis and soccer.
