Julia Gold, MD

Dr. Julia Gold is a board-certified family medicine physician and the founder of Encore Concierge Medicine in Chicago.

After nearly nine years in traditional primary care, she grew frustrated watching patients get rushed through short appointments while important details slipped between visits, specialists, and systems. Starting Encore let her slow down, really get to know the people she treats, and help them connect the dots on their health. She sees primary care as a chance to look at the whole person rather than one symptom or lab result at a time, and her approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, share what is really going on, and be honest about what is realistic for their lives.

Gold is a mom of three, which has only deepened her appreciation for how busy life gets and how much it helps to have a doctor you trust.
