My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My passion as a board certified internist is to provide you with more personalized healthcare. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as if you are a member of my family. I believe healthcare should be collaborative, and I hope my staff and I have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere where we can all work together as a team.

In my 20-plus years of practice, I realize the importance of preventive medicine and how individual patient needs can vary. My partnership with MDVIP allows me not only to focus on preventive medicine, but also to help personalize it to your unique history and situation. 

I am an attending physician affiliated with Main Line Health. Having practiced in the Bryn Mawr area for my entire career, I have a large network of specialists to whom I can refer in the three major health systems in Philadelphia. Advocating for you when it comes to specialty care, or even hospital care should you need it, is something on which I pride myself. My primary care practice serves the Philadelphia suburbs.

I suffered a very bad reaction to my first Covid vaccine booster, in 2021. I was a patient of Dr. Jennifer Claves for a short time. I was quite sick and needed help just to get to her office. She quickly diagnosed my problem, which lasted for many months.
Dr. Claves was incredible. My husband and I were so thankful that she was my doctor. I had many lab tests over the months.

from Suzanne in PA January 18, 2024 for Jennifer L. Claves, MD

Last March I was told I had breast cancer. I absolutely fell apart since my mother and my sister died of breast cancer.
I contacted Dr. Claves in absolute terror because I did not know what else to do. I had recently had a friend with the same stage of cancer as me just undergo a mastectomy. Dr. Claves called me back immediately and took the time to talk me off the ledge. She… See more
