About
I am Dr Munira Abbasi, a medical doctor certified in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Lifestyle Medicine.
In addition, I have a certification in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University’s affiliated T.Collin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies.
This level of training has helped me in developing good understanding of our metabolic health affected by hormones, and other lifestyle factors such as nutrition, movement and stress. As a physician and metabolic-health expert within endocrinology, I am also uniquely aware of what medicines work best for specific metabolic health conditions and how those medicines interact with all the other variables of your health.
I mainly focus on devoting my time and skills in careful listening and assisting patients in making behavior changes in the ways they eat , move , think and relate. I believe in providing supportive and safe environment where patients can openly share their whole story as well as their health concerns and goals, without ever feeling rushed.

Testimonials
Dr Abbasi is the best doctor I have ever had. She helped me in controlling my diabetes on least possible medicines . She takes her time and listens and looks at every aspect of health. She is considerate, patient, thorough and explains the plan in detail . I would recommend her without hesitation. — Dec 05, 2018
Dr Abbasi is the most amazing doctor. I wish that I would’ve gone to her sooner. She could’ve saved me a lot of heartache & aggravation. I had hyperthyroidism and initially I was confused about the treatment . She heard what I had to say and responded to what I actually said. She is very easy to talk to & always makes time to answer questions. She gave me ample time and remained patient as I took my time to make decision . I have undergone treatment and now feeling much better. — 2019
