Louis Libby, MD
About Me
Although a specialty physician, I believe that I can best care for patients when I know about many aspects of their lives - social, educational, professional, family, religious and personal. I have a strong personal belief in natural healing and the benefits of exercise. When possible, I prefer to start with non-drug treatments.
Dr. Libby graduated from George Washington University School of Medicine and later completed his internship, residency and became Chief Resident in Internal Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He completed his fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine also at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Libby brings several honors and awards to The Oregon Clinic - Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, including the Teacher of the Year award and the Mission Medal Award from Providence Portland Medical Center. He has been mentioned as one of the Best Doctors of America and was featured as one of Portland Monthly Magazine's "Top Doctors" ten times.
