Dennis Thapa, MD

"I have been in pain for several years, so I went to Dr Thapa’s office on an orthopedic referral. Over the past few years, I have had ablations, Spinal Cord Stimulator trials which failed, and PT to no avail. I’m now scheduled for an injection and possibly another MRI. All through this, Dr Thapa has been gentle, medicates appropriately during painful procedures, and is very cognizant of my pain and frustrations. I am in my 70’s and a retired RN. I wish I had gone to him sooner as the back pain has continued. He is determined, kind, aware, and patient oriented. I do not hesitate to refer anyone with pain to give him a chance. I believe a person doesn’t have to be in constant, unrelenting pain. I believe he is the best option."

"Dr. Thapa is incredible. He took a lot of time to listen to my health concerns and laid out two courses of treatment, even going so far as to print out articles for me to read regarding one of the treatment options and thoroughly explaining the benefits and drawbacks of each. I felt heard and seen, which unfortunately is sometimes lacking in the hospital setting. I’d recommend Dr. Thapa and Wentworth Douglass Center for Pain Management to anyone in need of treatment for chronic pain and/or mental health conditions. His professionalism, while also being kind and accessible, made my experience a great one, for which I am very grateful!"
