Christina Pinto, DO, is board certified in family medicine and serves patients in our Telehealth department.

Christina said her purpose and passion is fueled by her love of humans and her deep desire to help those in need. She wanted to be a doctor since she was very young and thought being a doctor would allow her to care for people in the most basic and useful way. She practices with her heart and will do everything she can to take care of a patient in the best way possible and will always have their best interest in mind.

She chose to work at a community health center as she felt she was able to make more of an impact on people who have nowhere else to go and give them the best care possible.

Dr. Pinto’s key message to her patients is “If you take care of your body you will give it the best shot to take care of you. Have a healthy diet, exercise regularly, get outside, and get sufficient sleep. Moderate the unhealthy things. Every day is a new day so if yesterday wasn’t your best, wake up and make today better. I will be here if you need me to ensure you have the resources you need to get and stay on track.”

When Christina is not at work she is with her spouse and three kids doing anything and everything they can that is fun together. She loves to travel, go camping, play games, hike, paddle board, go to zoos, and play at parks. She also has a passion for running and road races. She loves to be active and outdoors. She said would practice medicine outside if she could!

Dr. Pinto speaks and understands some Spanish.

She was on the track and field team for Fresno State competing in the discus and hammer. Her favorite was the hammer and once got a silver medal in the Israeli national championships for that event.
