ALMA, Mich. – Families in Gratiot County and surrounding communities will have expanded access to pediatric care as MyMichigan Health welcomes Dipsal Timila, M.D., to MyMichigan Pediatrics in Alma. 

Dr. Timila provides comprehensive pediatric care for children from infancy through adolescence, with a commitment to delivering compassionate, family-centered care and building lasting relationships with patients and their families.

MyMichigan Pediatrics will provide comprehensive care for newborns, including delivery room management, newborn resuscitation, circumcision and breastfeeding support.

Most importantly, MyMichigan Pediatrics wants to create a welcoming and supportive environment where families feel heard, respected and involved in decisions about their child’s health.

Originally from Nepal, Dr. Timila completed his pediatric residency through the University of Michigan Health Sparrow Hospital/Michigan State University Pediatric Residency Program after earning his medical degree from the Southeast University in Nanjing, China.
