About Cristina L Brini
About the Provider
I’m still a kid at heart, so of course I’ve always been interested in pediatrics. I focus on inpatient kidney care and dialysis. Kidneys are my favorite organ — they are so resilient, and it’s fascinating how they react and respond to what’s going on in the rest of the body.
In my practice, I try to engage first and foremost with my patients, no matter how young they are. We are all complex, unique individuals no matter our age. I try to get to know my patients and their families as whole people and not just the specific reason they’re in the hospital.
It is such an honor to be a part of my patients’ lives. I often meet kids and families when they are at their lowest point. Helping them get back to feeling like the best version of themselves brings me incredible joy.

Christina seems to want to do a great job for patients but does not always advocate for what is right in the presence of providers. Christina is very knowledgeable in many areas which is great, and makes an effort to have things organized.
