Julia Finch, M.D.

Biography

Dr. Julia Finch chose a career in family medicine because it allows her to care for patients of all ages through all stages of life. Dr. Finch wants to get to know her patients' families, support systems, and what enables them to live their best lives. With a passion for preventative medicine and integrative health, she enjoys partnering with her patients to achieve their goals.

After earning an undergraduate degree in Women's Studies, she was originally drawn to medicine as a way to advocate for equity, justice, and respect for all people. 

When she's not working, Dr. Finch loves to travel, read, do crossword puzzles, brew beer, and spend quality time with her husband, Shashin, and their Mini Bernedoodle, Denali. As a new resident of Oregon, she appreciates any recommendations for local food, dog-friendly hikes, weekend getaways, and pacific northwest plants that will be hard to kill as she learns how to garden.
