Madhuri Juvekar, MD, is a board-certified family medicine physician with Prisma Health Primary Care in South Carolina. She has practiced in the Midlands for more than 20 years since completing her family medicine residency at Palmetto Health Richland Hospital, Columbia, South Carolina. She enjoys forming partnerships with her patients in taking care of their health. Her goal is to work on prevention of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke, and to promote wholesome management including meditation, anti-inflammatory diet changes and physical therapy to help with mobility. She believes in addressing the root cause of the health issue instead of just prescribing medicines – for example, to manage headache, she looks to lower blood pressure or manage reflux that could be causing it. Dr. Juvekar was awarded the “most compassionate resident” during her program training. Her approach in caring for patients is to have compassion and understanding and to work as a team. She prefers for the family to be involved and encourages patients to bring their closest family member during their visit to work together. When not at work, Dr. Juvekar likes to practice meditation, take a walk in nature and spend time with her family.
