Hira B Siktel, MD

Biographical Sketch

When driving into Pocatello from the north our valley looks incredibly similar to that of Dr. Siktel’s home. Nepal is a land of mountains, streams and beautiful vistas. It’s a country that also places a huge emphasis on the creation of highly skilled physicians. Dr. Siktel knew from an early age that he would pursue a career in medicine although he really liked the idea of being an engineer as well. The more he learned about the important role that a healthy kidney plays in our bodies health the more Dr. Siktel realized that Nephrology was his special calling.

He is very pleased to be a part of the Idaho Kidney Institute and is impressed with all the good works they perform in and out of the field of medicine. Dr. Siktel and his wife are the proud parents of two daughters and they are anxious to get out and take advantage of all the outdoor activities our area is famous for.
