Dr. Reema Iqbal is a family medicine physician with a heart for people, a mind for science, and a passion for the stories that shape health.

She recently completed a Sleep Medicine Fellowship in Connecticut, following her Family Medicine training at Hackensack Meridian Health – Ocean University Medical Center in New Jersey. Her journey to medicine has spanned continents and disciplines, reinforcing her commitment to whole-person care rooted in empathy, evidence, and advocacy.

Before entering medicine, Dr. Iqbal studied Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Stony Brook University. While she loved solving complex problems, she became even more intrigued by the human stories behind the data — the why behind the numbers. That curiosity led her to pursue her medical degree at the American University of Antigua, where she gained a global perspective on healthcare and a deep commitment to equity.

Her clinical path has been rich with experiences — from presenting rare cases at state-level conferences to helping patients manage sleep disorders that quietly affect every aspect of their lives. She is especially passionate about preventative medicine, recognizing its power to reduce long-term risk, improve quality of life, and empower patients to take ownership of their health.

A strong advocate for leadership and policy, Dr. Iqbal has served as the New Jersey State Resident Director for the New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians and held leadership roles with the New York State Academy of Family Physicians. She brings that same drive to every patient interaction, believing that systemic change and compassionate care go hand in hand.

Fluent in English, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, and conversational in American Sign Language, Dr. Iqbal sees language as a bridge to connection and healing. At her core, she believes listening is as important as diagnosing — and that compassion is one of medicine’s most powerful tools. She is honored to walk alongside her patients as they navigate their unique health journeys. For 2026, Dr. Iqbal has been notably elected to the Board of Directors for the prestigious Connecticut Academy of Family Physicians.
