Dr. Nizar Kibar, MD

Dr. Kibar was born in Lebanon, the youngest of three siblings, in a poor family where education was highly valued. His father, a dedicated teacher, worked tirelessly across multiple jobs to support the family, while his mother, a devoted housewife, poured all her energy into caring for her children. This strong foundation in education and family values shaped Dr. Kibar's lifelong passion for helping others.

Dr. Kibar attended the American University of Beirut, graduating from medical school in 1997. He then moved to the United States to complete his residency in internal medicine at the University of Kansas in Wichita, followed by a fellowship in geriatrics in St. Louis. He further expanded his expertise with six months of pain and palliative care training at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Maryland before relocating to Greensburg, Kansas, in 2003. After practicing there for several years, Dr. Kibar moved to Wichita in 2007 following a tornado and worked as a hospitalist for almost four years. In 2011, he returned to Greensburg, where he continued to serve the community. In 2021, he moved to Harper County, where he continues to practice and provide exceptional care at Patterson Health Center.

In December 2018, Dr. Kibar married his beautiful wife, Rana, and together they have a son, Jama (soft J and mal pronounced like malpractice). Dr. Kibar also has a daughter, Eva Jo, who lives with her mother in Kansas City. Despite the distance, the family reunites twice a year for a family vacation.

In addition to his medical career, Dr. Kibar is a dedicated fitness enthusiast and reads regularly. He volunteers at the Mayflower Clinic in Wichita and was honored with the "Kansas Health Foundation Health Hero" award in 2018 for his outstanding contributions to community health. Dr. Kibar's mother enjoys traveling between her children’s homes to experience the best weather each location has to offer, a reflection of the deep family bonds that remain central to his life.
