Meet dr. May Awkal

A lifetime Dedicated to Senior Care

My desire to provide Primary care services to seniors began at a very young age. At the age of 10 I knew I wanted to become a physician and in particular I wanted to be one that prevented disease processes from advancing. After I saw my grandmother suffer a major stroke and later develop vascular dementia I quickly knew that it was my calling to work with seniors and to focus my scope of practice on prevention of common medical conditions working to serve my local community.
I am proud to say that I am a Western Massachusetts native. I was raised in West Springfield, Massachusetts graduated high school in 1999. I received my bachelors of science in Biochemistry from Simmons College in, Boston MA and received my doctorate of Medicine from University of Connecticut School of Medicine in 2009. My first year of residency in Internal Medicine was at Baystate Medical Center, Spriningfield MA and last two years were completed at UCLA, St Mary Hospital Long Beach California.

After completing residency, I began my career providing care to Geriatric residents at the Los Angeles Jewish Home and I built my own full-service primary care geriatric practice bringing my services to local Assisted Living Communities. The growing desire for patients to have care brought to the home began to expand rapidly. I understand the importance of collaboration of care for my patient’s and there is no better place to practice medicine other than the patient’s home. My goal is to ensure that my residents remain independent for as long as possible and to make sure any medical concerns are accurately and promptly treated. With the expertise of my office staff as well as my physician assistants and nurse practitioners, I view myself as the geriatric care team leader who understands the support, compassion, and medical resources that my patients require.

Thank you for welcoming me to your home and I look forward to meeting all of you. Continue to age gracefully! Keep moving.

Sincerely

Dr May Awkal
