Neva Lundy, MD

Neva was born and raised in Los Angeles before escaping her three younger brothers to complete her undergraduate degree at the University of Notre Dame where she majored in Biological Anthropology. After graduation, she headed to the UK to continue studying anthropology and to complete a Masters in Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Durham. After graduation, she moved back to the United States to work in medical technology and medical product procurement. A few twists and turns later (that included working on a documentary film and working at a high-profile Hollywood public relations firm), she realized medicine was the best path to make the social impact that she wanted. She completed a Post Baccalaureate at Loyola Marymount University and drove across the country to brave hurricanes and dual MD/MPH at the University of Miami. She is excited to be back in California with only earthquakes and fires to worry about. She is passionate about public health policy, systems change, patient-centered care and goals-of-care discussions between doctors and patients. She is part of the West LA VA prelim crew and enjoying spending time with our country’s veterans. Outside of the hospital, you’ll find her running on the beach or curled up with her nose in a book. She is always looking for new books to read or happy to give book recs if you’re looking for a new one!
