About
As a pulmonary and critical care physician, I am committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care with a strong focus on health equity. I advocate for underserved populations and work to ensure that all patients receive respectful, high-quality treatment regardless of their background. I’m also deeply passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of physicians, and I find great fulfillment in contributing to both clinical care and medical education at Temple Health.

Dr Najjar very thorough and included me in decisions moving forward in care
I was very happy with Dr. Najjar. She helped me after 2 pulmonologists were unsuccessful. She listened and figured out my problem.
First visit with her. VERY happy. She was knowledgable, thoughtful, thorough.
Was great on explaining everything
I have already recommended her. I can not say evough about the extraordinary care this doctor provides.
