Dr. Julie Gunther is a dual-Board Certified Family Physician who loves being a doctor. She founded sparkMD in 2013 to take back her relationship with her patients and to empower herself to be the doctor she set out to be.

In 2016, Dr. Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her diagnosis, at the age of 40, led her to re-frame her personal goals and her goals for sparkMD. She decided to build a team that supported her mission and that would allow her to extend more care to more people and to spend time sharing sparkMD’s mission with other doctors and medical organizations throughout the US.

Dr Julie has worked to build a robust, compassionate, diligent and capable team of two nurses, a Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant and an aesthetician. The sparkMD team provides urgent care services, wellness services and aesthetic services, focusing across the board on mental and physical well being. Dr. Julie supervises all of these services and is generally on-site and/or behind the scenes for every patient interaction provided here. It is the mission of everyone at sparkMD to restore the integrity of healthcare through dignified, transparent care that is given the time and space it needs to be done right.

Dr. Julie is a graduate of Boise High School, Harvard University, and the University of Washington School of Medicine. She has spoken, provided content or been featured in Forbes, NPR, Bloomberg News, Medical Economics, Physician Practice, Reason TV, KevinMD, The Idaho Statesman, The Idaho Business Review, Greenbelt Magazine among many other forums. She enjoys motivational speaking, telling authentic stories and empowering physicians and individuals to think differently about how we care for ourselves and for each other.
