Meet Our People

Meet Our PeopleSusan Kaib, MD, FAAFP
Medical Director, Kronos Optimal Health Company 

For Dr. Susan Kaib, helping a person achieve his or her health goals is about working with the whole person – body, mind and spirit.

Before joining Kronos Optimal Health Company, Dr. Kaib previously worked in private practice, where she felt she wasn’t able to address her patients’ health needs fully because of time constraints.

“What I saw at Kronos was the opportunity to spend a lot of time helping people take responsibility for their health within the corporate wellness realm,” she says 

As medical director for Kronos, Dr. Kaib is fully trained in Kronos’ proactive, preventive approach to medicine. A board-certified physician, Dr. Kaib is a fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians.

When she’s not working, she’s doing the usual Mom things, she says – molding play dough and going on walks with her two children. Because of her focus on wellness, Dr. Kaib wants to instill a healthy lifestyle in her children now.

“I’m a bit annoying to them,” she jokes. “I’m constantly balancing what a pre-schooler wants and what’s healthy. It’s a lot of negotiation.”

Dr. Kaib completed her residency at Phoenix Baptist Hospital and earned her medical degree from the University of Arizona, Tucson. She graduated cum laude from Arizona State University, Tempe, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. Dr. Kaib is a member of the Arizona Academy of Family Physicians and the Arizona Medical Association.

In her role with Kronos, Dr. Kaib has been interviewed for television and radio and by national and local print publications, including Good Housekeeping, Esquire, More, Healthy Aging and America West.
