Julie Hastings, MD

Whether you’re an avid athlete, weekend warrior, or grandparent who wants to be able to keep up with you grandchildren, we all depend on our musculoskeletal system to do the activities that bring us joy and keep us healthy. I strive to provide each patient with a precise diagnosis, education, and comprehensive and customized treatment plan to help you get back to the activities you enjoy.  I truly believe that movement is medicine and look forward to helping you reach your goals.
