Clifton Healthcare Provider and Small-Business Owner Dr. Assad Mujtaba Announces Candidacy for Clifton City Council
Sep 14, 2026
FROM CARING FOR PATIENTS TO CARING FOR A COMMUNITY Highly rated local healthcare provider brings experience in medicine, education, administration and small-business management to the 2026 Clifton municipal contest
Clifton, New Jersey Sep 13, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Assad Mujtaba, DNP, NP-C, founder of Mujtaba Clinic and a longtime healthcare professional, educator and small-business owner, is a candidate for Clifton City Council in the November 3, 2026 municipal election.
Mujtaba's candidacy brings his professional and community roles into the city's electoral arena following years of work in healthcare, emergency medicine, education and business administration.
At the center of his professional career is Mujtaba Clinic, located at 859 Clifton Avenue, where the practice provides primary care, urgent walk-in services, physical examinations, preventive services and other healthcare services to area residents.
A HIGHLY RATED CLIFTON HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
Mujtaba and his Clifton practice have received high patient ratings across several online healthcare platforms.
As of September 2026, Tebra lists Assad Mujtaba, DNP, NP-C at 4.99 out of 5 based on 299 patient reviews, while Mujtaba NP Walk In Clinic carries a 5.0 rating based on 307 reviews.
Zocdoc separately lists Mujtaba with a 5.0 overall patient rating.
Patient reviews frequently reference listening, communication, professionalism and personal attention--qualities that Mujtaba says have influenced his approach both inside and outside healthcare.
EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE AND ADMINISTRATION
Mujtaba's professional background combines clinical education with business and administrative experience.
His publicly listed credentials include a Doctor of Nursing Practice from New York University, Family Nurse Practitioner training at Molloy College, postgraduate study in Internal Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, an MBA, and an earlier medical degree from a Caribbean medical school.
His professional biography also reports experience in emergency medicine and educational leadership.
Running a community healthcare practice has additionally required the day-to-day responsibilities associated with a small business: personnel, budgeting, regulatory compliance, scheduling, technology and responding directly to the people the organization serves.
FROM THE EXAMINATION ROOM TO CIVIC PARTICIPATION
Mujtaba says his experience in healthcare has reinforced a simple principle: before attempting to solve a problem, one must first listen carefully enough to understand it.
In announcing his City Council candidacy, he has identified issues including tax stability, responsible development, public safety, services for senior citizens and responsive municipal government as subjects he wants discussed during the campaign.
His healthcare practice also gives him regular contact with residents from different backgrounds and age groups--from working families and parents to seniors managing chronic medical conditions.
For Mujtaba, the transition into municipal civic participation represents an extension of that community involvement.
A CLIFTON SMALL-BUSINESS STORY
Mujtaba lives and works in Clifton and operates his healthcare practice in the city.
His candidacy therefore combines several aspects of his professional experience: healthcare provider, educator, administrator, employer and local small-business operator.
The 2026 campaign will give Clifton voters the opportunity to examine that record, along with those of the other candidates seeking seats on the City Council, and make their own decision at the ballot box.
For Assad Mujtaba, the connection between his professional and civic lives can be summarized simply:
Medicine is his profession. Community service has become an increasingly significant part of his public life.

CHEVAL BLANC COURCHEVEL UNVEILS TWO NEW CHALETS
Cheval Blanc Courchevel is expanding with two chalets conceived as private residences, offering all the services of Cheval Blanc, alongside 15 dedicated Majordomes providing highly personalised service. The five-bedroom Chalet and nine-bedroom Chalet harmoniously retain the architectural codes of the original Maison, while reinterpreting them through a refined, contemporary aesthetic. Their connection to the main property is immediately recognisable through the ochre colour of the exterior walls — the signature shade of Cheval Blanc Courchevel — as well as the extensive use of wood. A nod to the traditional alpine chalets of the region, the material is used across the façade in a contemporary interpretation of local architectural codes: charred timber elements interlock with one another like a piece of modern marquetry.
