About BradRich Healthcare

At BradRich Healthcare, we believe exceptional medical care should be accessible, personalized, and judgment-free. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, seeking support for weight loss, or simply need a walk-in visit, we're here to meet you where you are — with compassion and expert care.
We specialize in primary care, obesity and nutritional medicine, acute care, sports physicals, and IV therapy. Our patients benefit from same-week appointments, flexible scheduling, and direct access to their providers.


Meet the Founder:

Dr. Julie Richards, DNP-C – Doctorate Family Nurse Practitioner

  • Dr. Julie Richards is the founder and heart of BradRich Healthcare. With nearly 20 years of experience in oncology, hematology, ICU, nutritional and obesity medicine, and primary care, she blends advanced medical knowledge with real-world compassion.
  • Having once weighed over 300 pounds herself, Julie knows firsthand how difficult the weight loss journey can feel. That personal experience drives her passion for GLP-1 programs, obesity medicine, and metabolic health. She founded BradRich to create a space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered.
  • Dr. Julie earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing with a minor in finance, followed by her Master’s in Nursing Education, and ultimately her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). She is a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, passionate about blending science, real-life empathy, and patient education in every visit.
  • She founded BradRich to offer modern, nonjudgmental care, especially for those struggling with weight, metabolic health, and navigating today's broken insurance systems.
“I know what it’s like to feel frustrated in your own body. That’s why I built BradRich — to provide not only medical weight loss programs that work, with real compassion and support but also primary care clinic to help those who feel unheard.”
