EnglishHead and Neck Oncology – Medical Director (Sacred Heart / Lehighton)
I am board-certified and re-certified in hematology and medical oncology, I have been practicing hematology/oncology since 2004. After I completed medical school at University of Hamburg in Germany, I did my internal medicine training at Pinnacle Health Network and my hematology /oncology fellowship at the Penn State University Hospital.
I do enjoy taking care of complex cases and value the multi-disciplinary team approach to any challenging case. Currently, I take care of all different types of malignancy and enjoy being a part of the head neck malignancy working group.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my wife and 2 little girls.

“Dr Habib is one of those providers who projects warmth and concern for your well-being from the moment he walks into the room. You never feel stressed or embarrassed to ask questions or bring up concerns that may seem simple but that are very real and impact your wellness. He NEVER rushes through your visit and is always open to discussions, He makes you feel like you are his only patient and his time is your time. I am very blessed that he is on my health care team and feel that I can contact him at any time with future concerns or questions.”
