Ahmad Jamal Javed, MD

Ever wondered where to find a geriatrician who understands the quiet rhythm of life on the Upper East Side? Ahmad Jamal Javed, MD specializes in care that fits the neighborhood’s mix of long-time residents and those who’ve watched it change over decades. Geriatrics isn’t just about age—it’s about adapting medicine to the pace of lives that have seen generations come and go.

You’ll find the practice at 170 E 77th St, a street lined with pre-war buildings and small parks where older New Yorkers still meet for chess. The focus here includes chronic condition management, medication reviews, and mobility assessments, all aimed at keeping daily routines as independent as possible. Cognitive health screenings and fall prevention are part of the conversation too, especially in a city where sidewalks can be uneven and apartments often have narrow doorways.

What sets this kind of care apart is its attention to the details that matter most when you’re no longer in a rush. They handle referrals for home health aides, discuss advance care planning, and coordinate with specialists who might be scattered across the city. It’s the kind of practice that recognizes how much the Upper East Side still feels like a village, even when it doesn’t look like one.

If you’re considering a visit, call (347) 448-3044 to set up an appointment. Directions are straightforward—just pull up the map and walk from the 6 train at 77th St. Odds are you’ll pass someone you know on the way.
