About Christina L Benkert
About the Provider
I was first attracted to medicine because of the way it allows for an incremental approach to advancing health for all patients. I’ve also always enjoyed science and solving problems.
My particular clinical interests include obesity, diabetes, and hypertension (high blood pressure) — three conditions where small, positive steps taken consistently over the long term often create large, sustained improvements in health.
When working with patients, I try to meet you where you are and partner with you on ways you can take care of your health. I place a high priority on preventive care, education, and wellness strategies that allow you to make progress over time.
