Dr. Maya Urva was born and raised in the East Bay of the Golden State, but by the end of high school decided it was time for a change and jumped continents, traveling approximately 5,078 miles to complete medical school in Dublin, Ireland at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland. After developing a wealth of hobbies*, a higher-than-expected pain tolerance, and a passion for family medicine, Dr. Urva (the second!) worked a year as a doctor in County Galway, Ireland before returning home to California to complete a family medicine residency in one of the coolest programs in the country! (*These hobbies include but are not limited to: video games, playing music, taekwondo, and drawing.) learning many many more.
