About
Clara Krebs, MD FAAFP earned her undergraduate degree in biology and biochemistry with honors from the University of Virginia, where she also competed as a Division 1 soccer player. Before entering clinical medicine, she spent four years as a published biochemical researcher at the University of Virginia Center for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases. That work focused on neurodegeneration, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neurological oxidative damage, and it shaped the scientific precision she brings to patient care today.
Dr. Krebs holds board certification as a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians and brings 23 years of clinical experience to her practice. She also spent 13 years in healthcare leadership roles in Hawaii before founding Clear Medical.
