A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Boston College, Christina has worked in Pediatrics since 1999. Christina enjoys working closely with children and their families to maintain and improve their health. “I value the entire family input to keep kids healthy or help them get better,” she explains. “The continuity of care in primary care is critical and for that reason I wanted to touch families’ lives year after year.”

Christina says that the biggest challenge she faces is dealing with the mental health issues of her patients. “Mental and behavioral health problems are being diagnosed in our nation’s pediatric population at an alarming rate. This health care challenge often falls on the shoulders of primary care providers. I find it fulfilling to help children and adolescents with these problems.”

There is no greater feeling for Christina than seeing her patients get better and thrive. “Pediatric primary care is the perfect place to watch this happen. For me, following a child’s growth and development year after year is a special privilege.”

In her spare time Christina likes to volunteer in her community through various organizations. She also loves to run, ski, and scrapbook.
