After many years in emergency medicine, Julie decided to return to school and become an advanced practice provider. She started out in urgent care, but eventually she wanted to broaden her knowledge and skill set and focus on ENT. ENT seemed a natural fit as so many urgent care issues are ENT-related.
Julie found a great home with three very knowledgeable and professional otolaryngologists. But after commuting for a couple of years, she desired something closer to home. Dr. Athavale’s office was the perfect fit for her. Everything is top notch from the office staff to the patient care. You can tell he really cares about the patients and his staff. Julie couldn’t be more excited to be a part of his team and be able to serve the community of Cartersville, which she has been part of for 20 years.
In her free time, Julie enjoys kayaking, hiking, cooking, concerts, comedy shows and football. Go Canes and go Saints!
