About Julie A. Staats, DO, FAAFP

As a physician with over 40 years of experience in medicine, my goal as your MDVIP-affiliated primary care doctor is to form a dynamic doctor-patient partnership that helps as you pursue keeping yourself stronger, more independent and out of the hospital. I embrace proactive primary prevention measures and holistic (whole person), patient-centered medical care.

In addition to primary care services, our office may sometimes recommend alternative medicine choices, herbal supplements or education sites to help you discover tools for healthier living that we hope will resonate with your lifestyle and values. Each day, I believe my patients can take a step closer as they work toward a cleaner, more active and healthier life, relying on fewer medications when possible.

Our office is a teaching clinic, serving medical students from Auburn University and Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine. It can be eye-opening for these students to see firsthand the improved outcomes of a more personal and proactive approach to patient care.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Please note that I do not prescribe any controlled substance prescription medication for new patients seeking to join my practice. Those patients will be required to follow up with or see a specialist who prescribes such medication, such as those for sleep, ADHD, pain or anxiety.

Why choose MDVIP? I know you have options; but I believe it is important, now more than ever, as our healthcare system seems so disjointed, to have a primary care doctor who  has more time to listen, who knows who you are when you call and who cares for you personally. Please watch my videos on this page to learn more.

I’m so glad to be in the care of a MDVIP doctor. She takes my vitals, discusses everything I need to cover in detail, takes lots of notes, gives ME a copy. She adjusts my medication/dose till we get it fine tuned and I am a happy guy!

I met Dr.Julia Staats about 12 years ago. My first visit with her was very professional and I could tell she cared about her patients. I had a rash come on me and I went to my dermatologist and he didn’t know what it was. He gave me a cream. I wasn’t satisfied with the doctor as the rash was spreading. I called Dr. Staats and went to see her. She immediately told me she was putting me in the…

I have been a patient of Julie Staats for years. She is the most caring, diligent and knowledgeable physician I’ve ever known. Day or night she has made herself available to me and sometimes I think she knows me better than I know myself! I am very grateful to Julie and her fantastic staff and I praise God for directing me to her.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
