MORRIS >> Morris resident Luci Juvan, M.D., a physiatrist at Gaylord Hospital in Wallingford, was recently recognized as a 2017 Connecticut Magazine “Top Doc”.

Dr. Juvan joined Gaylord Hospital in 1998 specializing in musculoskeletal issues, spasticity management, muscle and nerve injuries, and neurologic disorders including stroke and brain injury. Juvan’s peers say she is a stalwart patient advocate who leaves no stone unturned in her pursuit to help patients overcome potential obstacles that can impede their further rehabilitation.

“The goals of physiatry,” she explained, “are to maximize health and functional capacity in our patients. I am committed to educating my patients so that they are able to prevent re-injury and to empower them to make necessary lifestyle changes for their health.”

Dr. Juvan graduated from the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education of the City University of New York in an accelerated seven-year B.S./M.D. program with Mount Sinai School of Medicine, now known as the ICAHN School of Medicine.

She completed her residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. She is board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Dr. Juvan is a member of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the Connecticut Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and the New Haven County Medical Society.
