Dr. Thibert joined Doctors of Manatee last fall. She is a board-certified family medicine physician. Her special services include reproductive medicine, LGBTQ and gender-affirming healthcare, help for substance use disorders and osteopathic manipulative medicine. Her patient care philosophy is to provide care for every individual in every walk-of-life.


I consider myself a fully comprehensive physician, taking into consideration my patients’ lives outside of the exam room, because this has the greatest impact on their overall health,” says Dr. Thibert.
