About Dr. Juvy Abdullah
Dr. Juveria (“Juvy”) Abdullah is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Integrative Medicine, with a deep commitment to whole-person care. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine and is affiliated with NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
She earned her undergraduate degree in Economics and Philosophy from Columbia University and went on to receive her medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Abdullah completed her residency in Internal Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, where she built a strong foundation in academic medicine and patient-centered care.
Her interest in healing beyond the conventional led her to pursue advanced training in Integrative Medicine. She completed two fellowships, one at Weill Cornell Integrative Health and another at the Andrew Weill Center for Integrative Medicine. It was during this time that she met Dr. Jessica Weiser-McCarthy and realized that they both shared a similar vision and passion on delivering high quality integrative care.
In 2024, Dr. Abdullah joined Dr. Weiser-McCarthy’s private practice in Manhattan. Her approach combines conventional internal medicine with evidence-based strategies in nutrition, sleep, exercise, gut health, and mind-body wellness to help patients take charge of their health in meaningful, lasting ways.
Dr. Abdullah has taught and practiced medicine at esteemed institutions including UCLA Medical Center and Weill Cornell. She’s also passionate about global health and has contributed to health education and volunteer medical services in Yamasa, Dominican Republic.
When she’s not seeing patients, she’s experimenting with new recipes, exploring new places, or spending time with her husband, daughter, and their Shiba Inu.
My Journey in Holistic Medicine
My journey towards a holistic approach to medicine began during my global health work in Yamasa, Dominican Republic. There, I witnessed how doctors could empower patients by prioritizing preventive care, nutrition, community, spirituality, and diet to promote genuine healing and overall well-being. Inspired by this experience, I sought a deeper understanding of what it truly means to heal.
A turning point came when I faced my own health challenges, where conventional medicine alone couldn’t provide the solutions I needed. This led me to transform my lifestyle, diet, and environment, incorporate holistic practices and focus on the mind-body connection. Embracing these changes not only restored my health but also redefined my approach to patient care, paving the way for me to become an Integrative Medicine physician.
I believe that health is not simply a state of physical well-being; it is a story reflecting a person’s life experiences. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and guiding patients on a path to becoming the best versions of themselves.
