Research Profile

July Jean Cuevas, MD, FAAP, is a clinician-researcher and developmental-behavioral pediatrician at the MU School of Medicine. A native of the Dominican Republic, she has always been involved in serving others and found medicine to be the path to develop her passions. Dr. Cuevas has helped patients and families care for a variety of neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety in children and developmental delays. She enjoys working with all age groups in pediatrics, and the 0-3 years of age is among her favorite group.

Within the School of Medicine and Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment, Dr. Cuevas enjoys the bidirectional impact of teaching and working with trainees and medical students. Her future goals and interests include studying neurodiversity in minoritized groups and improving access to care for Spanish speakers.

Besides working with patients, families, and trainees, Dr. Cuevas enjoys music, watching sports and frequent travels to her native island. She lives with her husband, daughter and dog and enjoys going for hikes and visits to parks.
