About Julie Carkin

Julie Carkin, M.D., is a board certified physician, director of the Strong Bones Program and a founding member of The Seattle Arthritis Clinic at UW Medicine’s Northwest Outpatient Medical Center and a UW associate professor of Medicine. She is regularly listed as a Seattle Top Doc in Seattle Magazine and Seattle Metropolitan Magazine.

If you have suffered a low-trauma fracture, Dr. Carkin wants you to not only heal your broken bone but get better than you were before the fracture. If you are someone who suffers with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, she wants to allow you to participate fully at home, at play, at work and within your community.

Dr. Carkin earned her M.D. from Boston University. Her clinical and research interests include osteoporosis and fracture prevention, full-spectrum care of complex inflammatory arthritis and immune system diseases.

Personal Interests

When not totally obsessed with Major League Baseball (and dreaming of the Seattle Mariners winning the World Series), Dr. Carkin loves bicycling, hiking, cross-country skiing and exploring new cities.
