Medical School: Birat Medical College, Nepal

I was born and raised in Nepal and completed my medical school there. I am a nature loving person and enjoy traveling. I love hiking, trekking, and photography.  I believe preventive medicine is the strongest pillar of the healthcare system, which is why I chose family medicine as my career. The beauty of family medicine is that I can take care of all ages, from the grandson to the grandfather.

Medical School: Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine

My name is Karman Biggs and I am proud to call Fort Smith my hometown. I graduate from Northside High School in 2008 and spent several years gaining experience in a variety of roles right here in the community. In 2014, I took a leap toward my long-term goals by enrolling in the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith while working full time. I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then went on to earn a Masters of Science in Biomedicine and ultimately my Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from ACOM. 

Beyond my academic and professional pursuits, I cherish quality time with my family and friends.  I'm especially proud to be a co-guardian and aunt of my 15-year old niece as well as a devoted cat-mom to two of the most pampered felines around. One of my beloved traditions is our annual float tripe with friends and family, which commonly take us down the Elk, Illinois, and Buffalo rivers, though the cats prefer to stay home for that one!

I grew up in Aransas Pass, Texas and stayed close to home for college. After spending the last 4 years in Arkansas for medical school, I now consider this my home away from home. I look forward to spending the next few years of residency training serving patients in the River Valley.

Medical School: Dow International Medical College

I was raised in a small town in the central valley of California. For medical school, I switched it up and went to Karachi, Pakistan, with a population of 28 million. 

In my free time, I like staying active by going to the gym or playing sports like basketball or tennis. When I am not doing physical activity, I like exploring new places with my wife.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, trying out new coffee shops, and exploring new places with my husband. 

Medical School: N.R.I. Medical College - India

I am originally from India and drawn to family medicine because I truly value building long-term relationships with patients, getting to know their stories, families, and being a part of their lives over time.

Outside the clinic, you'll usually find me experimenting with South Indian recipes in my kitchen, decorating my home, and planning events. Whether it is a cozy dinner or a birthday bash, I'm all in on the details. Chasing after my busy little toddler boy, life is full and sometimes chaotic, but meaningful. That is exactly how I like it.

Medical School: Dow International Medical College

In my free time outside of medicine, I love staying active - whether it's hiking around Fort Smith, playing volleyball, exploring new places, or chasing after my two cats, Kawhi and LeBron. I'm especially interested in preventive medicine and lifestyle interventions that promote long-term health. I aim to apply the same principles in my own life as I do in patient care.
