How Dr. Javali Practices
Primary care with the patient at the center
Dr. Javali has cared for patients across a wide range of settings, from a rural health clinic to the hospital. What she’s learned is that the best care comes from knowing someone well: their work, their family, what they’re worried about, what they’ve tried.
At Foundations MD, that’s built into how the practice works. Visits aren’t cut short, you’re never limited to one concern per appointment, and the time spent with you goes to you, not to paperwork. Short visits and one-problem-per-appointment limits come from how healthcare is billed, not from how people actually live.
Her care covers the full range of family medicine for the whole family: routine labs and annual exams, chronic conditions like blood pressure and diabetes, mental health, preventive screening, clinic-based procedures, and in-depth prevention planning built around your history, your family, and your goals. She brings a special focus to women’s health, and, through Health Renewal, her obesity medicine training to weight and metabolic health for members who want a deeper, data-driven approach.
