Care Philosophy: Dr. Ghaibeh specializes in Internal Medicine with an interest in geriatrics and preventative medicine, and provides care for adult patients 18 and older. She aims to achieve high quality care for her patients by educating them in the benefits of self-care and self-motivation. Dr. Ghaibeh believes in reducing overmedication and in turn uses more natural, non-opiate methods to treat pain. Her areas of focus include management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, COPD, GI conditions, anxiety and depression.

Care Philosophy: I believe in listening to my patient. I acknowledge that they patient know their body better than anyone. Every patient is seeking and needs or wants something different, and needs or wants that in a way that fits with their view of their health. Together, the patient and I collaborate to form the working relationship: Is the patient more knowledgeable and self-directed? Or would they prefer I take the lead in outlining a care plan? Motivational interviewing for positive health behavior maintenance or change is my main approach to care.
