Michael Gibbs, M.D.
Dr. Gibbs joined Neurology Associates after completing his fellowship training at UCLA Medical Center. He is Board Certified in Neurology and enjoys seeing patients with both common and rare neurologic conditions of all types. He spent two additional years learning to treat complex seizure disorders and is adept at evaluating patients for epilepsy surgery.
He completed a Master’s degree in Public Health at Northwestern University in Chicago, where he became interested in understanding factors that determine quality-of- life of patients with neurologic diseases and how to measure it for research studies.
Dr. Gibbs’ favorite aspect of medicine is teaching patients about their illness and empowering them to become active participants in their recovery. He is firmly devoted to ‘patient-centered care’ and the idea that each patient is an individual with a unique way of navigating the medical system and coping with illness.
Dr. Gibbs is married and has two daughters. He is a former collegiate triathlete and now engages in swimming, cycling and running for fitness. He has a soft spot for mid-century furniture design.
“Dr Gibbs is an amazing epileptologist. I had previously been to 3 other neurologists and he was the first doctor to share, in detail, the condition I was suffering from. He’s quick to find new medications and is all around an intelligent, empathetic physician. Highly recommend.”
