About Julia E. Danze Blood, MD

  • When she is not working, Dr. Blood enjoys spending time with her husband, going on walks with their dog, playing the violin, visiting art museums, and baking cupcakes.

I have always loved interacting with children. It is an honor to be able to contribute to the physical and emotional health of a child from birth to young adulthood. I enjoy building strong relationships with my patients and their families, providing them with optimal care based on the most curren tmedical data. I value clear and open communication, and focus on education and preventive care to help children lead safe and healthy lives.
