About

At Family Medicine of Pooler, Dr. Christi Ghaleb and Dr. Pete Ghaleb deliver family medicine rooted in relationship-driven care. The husband-and-wife team founded the Pooler, Georgia practice in 2010 after eight years at Memorial Health. In 2017, they made history by converting to the first Direct Primary Care (DPC) model in the Greater Savannah area. Their success inspired more than a dozen similar practices to launch across Chatham County.

The practice caps its panel at 600 patients and sees roughly 10 patients per day. That deliberate limit supports longer visits, same-day access, and genuine continuity of care. Dr. Christi leads all clinical work while Dr. Pete manages the business operations. Members reach their physician by phone, text, email, telemedicine, or social media at any hour. The practice publishes wholesale price lists for medications, labs, imaging, and procedures so patients always know their costs. Family Medicine of Pooler has earned multiple regional honors, including the 2024 Best of Georgia Regional Award and South Magazine's South's Greatest Doctors recognition across multiple years.
