Surrounded by medicine as a child – with a mother who was a gynecologist and other family members who were cardiologists and surgeons – Maha Mumtaz came to love the profession.

“Growing up and seeing them really inspired me to want to help people and move into the field of medicine.”

She chose internal medicine for its variety. 

“I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds, getting to know them personally and treating different medical issues. Making people feel better always makes me feel good.”

During her residency training, Dr. Mumtaz cared for intensive care unit patients, which helped her prepare for her work at Blessing as a hospitalist. 

“I learned to respond rapidly, that anything can change at any time and time is everything.”

Among her many hobbies is art. Dr. Mumtaz began participating in drawing competitions at a young age and developed her skills to the point where her work has been used by an organization that makes a coloring book for people living with dementia.
