Edith Buentello, Medical Assistant

Edith is Dr. Manisha Ghei’s Medical Assistant. She is a native of Rosenberg, TX. In 2008 she went to school to become a Medical Assistant after her father became very ill. While seeing him suffer through his illness, Edith knew that she wanted to help make a difference in other patient’s lives and help them in their health recovery process. “Helping my father get better was the best feeling!”. She graduated from Remington College, Houston in 2009 with a diploma in Medical Assisting. After graduating she worked at a large Family Practice office in Sugar Land from 2009-2012.

In Feb of 2012 Edith joined Praana Integrative Medicine & Holistic Health Ctr, PLLC as Dr. Ghei’s medical assistant. She has slowly been learning about Integrative and Functional Medicine and nutrition from Dr. Ghei, and gradually implementing some changes in her and her family’s eating habits and lifestyle and seeing healthy results. “From 2012 until now seeing the difference that Dr. Ghei is making in the lives of her patients and the passion and diligent effort with which she constantly teaches and motivates her patients to getting themselves feeling wholesome and well again, has not only been a great learning experience but also an extremely satisfying work experience for me”.  She teases Dr. Ghei, ” behind every great Physician is a great Medical Assistant!”, and the doctor couldn’t agree more! Edith is a true asset per Dr. Manisha Ghei. When you call our office Edith will be your first contact by phone or email always trying to help you.

In her free time Edith loves to spent time with her husband and 2 beautiful children. She is also very creative and enjoys making crafts, and most of all she LOVES to bake extravagant cakes (you’ve really got to see them!). 

We are currently looking for another virtual health coach to support our patients in their health journey.
