A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Gabriel Gemayel provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Leukocytopenia: Leukocytopenia, a low white blood cell count, can be a sign of underlying health problems, making regular checkups crucial for early detection and preventing serious complications.
• Tobacco Use Disorder: Early detection and management of tobacco use disorder can prevent or delay the onset of many chronic diseases and improve your quality of life.

• Mild Asthma: Don't underestimate the significance of mild asthma. Regular monitoring and proactive management with your doctor are crucial steps in preventing its progression and ensuring overall well-being.
