Meet Your Doctor
Dr. Javed Islam is the Medical Director and Lead physician of OptiMed Health in Fort Lee, New Jersey. He is also the CEO and lead physician of PromptMD Urgent Care & Family Practice.
Dr. Islam is a graduate of King Edward Medical College in Lahore, Pakistan and completed his Family Medicine Residency at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. During his time at the University Hospital he was the Chief Resident in Family Medicine, and in 2001 was nominated “Intern of the Year”.
Dr. Islam founded his first urgent care center with one crisp vision in mind: to deliver personalized, to the point, and efficient medical care for busy professionals.
He carefully hand-picks collaborating physicians to carry this vision forward and has assembled a team that is naturally motivated and committed to treating patients the same way they treat their family and friends. At Optimed Health, we are proud to say, that patients come first!
