Dr. Ghaibeh, MD
I very much enjoy the full spectrum of medicine, especially geriatric care. Though I see all ages, my focus is on helping the geriatric patient population over the age of 65, and their families. Over the years, I’ve learned that I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my patients on a personal level. This makes all the difference in primary care. I try to not over prescribe medications. I’ve observed my patients who live to their nineties or 100s take one or maybe two medications at most.
I grew up in a small town in Colorado and graduated from University of Colorado School of Medicine. After completing my residency at St. Joseph’s hospital in Phoenix, Arizona ,I moved back home to Colorado. I have a board certification in Internal Medicine.
I always try to keep active (I must practice what I preach!) and love swimming, cycling, yoga. I also enjoy travel, writing and spending time with my family and friends.
