As an 11-year-old small town girl, Christina Watson,
DNP, was impressed by the cool scrubs and big building
where she met the nurses who tended her grandfather
after surgery. After 20 years as a nurse, she felt she could
do more and went back to school to earn bachelor’s
and master’s degrees, then a doctorate in nursing. She
gained five years of experience as a nurse practitioner
caring for internal medicine and gastroenterology
patients in hospital and outpatient settings.
As a certified nurse practitioner, Christina sees adults
for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic
illnesses of the gastrointestinal tract. She emphasizes
the importance of working with patients to develop
treatment plans that fit into their lifestyles, allowing
them to do what they need to promote healing and
wellness. She encourages everyone to eat better,
incorporating more fiber and less processed food into
their regular diets.
