Sara Whatley, DO

Dr. Sara Whatley is a family medicine physician and doctor of osteopathic medicine at Dr. Whatley Health & Wellness in Camarillo. She has practiced medicine in Camarillo since 2012, drawn to the field early on by a belief that health shapes nearly everything else in a person's life.

Her focus is preventive care, and she works with patients to build lifestyle habits that support long-term wellness. She also helps patients manage chronic conditions, adjusting medications and treatments to improve their quality of life day to day. As a DO, she brings a whole-person approach that looks at mind, body and spirit together rather than treating symptoms in isolation, and she partners closely with patients rather than dictating to them.

After a decade working within the corporate medicine system, she felt boxed in by its limits and unable to fully reach her patients. That experience led her to direct primary care, where she can spend more time with each patient, serve more of her community, and keep care accessible and affordable.
