Julie Dooley, MSN, APRN, AGPC-C

Julie is a Florida native, born in Jacksonville. After the birth of her daughter, she and her husband moved to Sarasota to raise their family. Julie loves being a wife and mother, enjoys outdoor activities, and cherishes her monthly book club gatherings of over 13 years. “I love the insight reading gives me into different cultures and ideas, which reminds me in some ways of why I love medicine. Like books, patients expose me to diverse perspectives and insights which help make me a better provider. We should never stop learning from each other and being curious about what is different.”

Julie has worked in various settings, making her uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive primary care. She completed her undergraduate degree at Florida State University and her graduate degree at the University of South Florida. Her career began at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville in 2001, where she worked in transplant medicine, caring for heart and lung transplant patients and then transitioned to liver transplant care. In 2007, she moved with her family to Sarasota. Her clinical experience in Sarasota includes concierge medicine, internal medicine, dermatology, home health, hospice, and clinical leadership. These roles, combined with her firm establishment in the Sarasota community, have enabled her to form valuable relationships in the medical community, greatly benefiting her patients and enhancing her ability to advocate for her patients.

Julie co-founded Live Well DPC with her partner Rachel to continue her passion for primary care. They aim to provide comprehensive, individualized care accessible to patients without the constraints of insurance and time. “Taking care of your health shouldn’t be difficult, intimidating, expensive, or inaccessible. I look forward to developing long-lasting patient relationships, with trust being the foundation."
