Our Doctor

Dr. Julia Addington was born and raised in Nelson, British Columbia. She graduated with distinction from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. She went on to receive her Doctor of Optometry degree with honours from Pacific University College of Optometry in Oregon in 2013. 

During her studies, she managed a wide array of ocular pathology through clinical externships at an Indian Health Center in Wyoming, a Veteran Affairs Hospital in Washington, a Military Health Clinic in Germany and a primary care practice in Vancouver, BC. 

After graduating from Optometry School, Dr. Addington practiced Optometry for four years on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia before moving to Ontario with her husband. There, she enjoyed caring for her patients while getting to know the community. 

She is very excited to be back in BC and explore her new home of Prince Rupert. In her spare time Dr. Addington enjoys travelling and spending time outdoors gardening, hiking, running and camping with her husband and daughters and their dog.
