Dr. Vu began her career as a Clinical Instructor and Internal Medicine Hospitalist at UPMC, where she taught and mentored medical students, residents, and other healthcare trainees. She later joined Providence Swedish as an Internal Medicine Hospitalist before spending five years as a Physician Partner at Seattle Medical Associates. In 2026, she founded Jade Internal Medicine to build the kind of long-term physician-patient relationships she had always envisioned. Her clinical passions include preventive care, lifestyle medicine, cardiometabolic health, women's health and menopause, and longevity. She presented research at national meetings including SHM, SGIM, ACP, and the Pediatric Academic Society. Outside the practice, Dr. Judy Vu is a West Seattle resident with two active and adventurous sons. She plays badminton, tennis, yoga, and Pilates, and she is learning basketball, soccer, and football alongside her sons. She met her husband Joshan during her intern year in the emergency department, where she consulted him as an infectious disease specialist about a patient with presumed malaria. Their shared curiosity over mosquitoes and blood smears began a relationship that has spanned four wedding ceremonies, two cross-country moves, and travel across the world.
