Family Medicine

Accepting New Patients

Basma Basma, D.O., is a family medicine doctor with special interests in chronic disease management, preventive care, obesity medicine, and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). She was born in Cairo, Egypt, and moved to Omaha when she was six. The Omaha community welcomed her family and quickly made them feel at home. Basma earned a BS in Neuroscience from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, a Master of Health Science from West Virginia University, and her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from A.T. Still University Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her family medicine residency at Morristown Medical Center, where she served as Chief Resident.

Basma always knew she wanted to help people. As she got older, she realized that connecting with others and building trust were some of her biggest strengths. Medicine was a natural way for her to combine her love of science with her desire to serve others. Building relationships with patients is still one of the most rewarding parts of her job as a family doctor.

Whole Person Healthcare means caring for each person, not just treating a diagnosis. As an osteopathic doctor, Basma believes that physical health is closely tied to mental, emotional, and social well-being. She sees every patient as having a unique story, and understanding that story is just as important as knowing their medical history. Basma is passionate about being proactive, helping prevent disease before it starts through chronic disease management, nutrition, movement, and supporting patients’ health goals. Her advice: small, steady changes often make a bigger difference than big, short-lived ones. You don’t have to be perfect to improve your health.

Think has always been important in Basma’s career. She worked there as a medical scribe when the clinic first opened and saw how valuable it was to have primary care, specialists, imaging, lab services, and other resources all in one place. After residency, she wanted to work somewhere that truly supports comprehensive, patient-centered, and accessible care focused on the whole person. Coming back as a doctor feels like coming full circle. During her residency, she also won First Place in Original Research at the ACOFP National Conference for a project that improved diabetic retinopathy screening rates in primary care.

Patients say Basma takes time to listen, truly cares, and goes the extra mile to help them with their healthcare. She wants every patient to feel heard, respected, supported, and involved in their care. One relationship that still shapes her was with her first continuity patient in residency, a woman with several complex conditions whom Basma cared for over three years. She helped coordinate specialists, guided tough decisions, and supported the patient and her husband through the move to palliative care and hospice. That experience showed her what family medicine is all about: lifelong relationships, coordinated care, and being there for patients at every stage of life.

In her free time, Basma enjoys traveling, reading fiction, dancing, and spending time with family and friends. Because she has moved often over the past decade, many of her closest friends now live across the country. She uses vacations to reconnect with them, especially if there is a beach or hiking trail nearby. If she could go anywhere, she would travel through the Balkan countries to experience their history, culture, and scenery.
