Christina Council, MD
North Bethesda

I am a highly skilled and compassionate board-certified family medicine physician. I also bring my expertise to an urgent care setting, where I maintain proficiency in a range of minimally invasive, in-office procedures. My training has equipped me with comprehensive experience in pediatric, adult, and geriatric care, allowing me to provide holistic and personalized medical services to patients of all ages. As a dedicated member of professional organizations such as the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Medical Association, and the National Medical Association, I remain committed to staying at the forefront of medical advancements and best practices in primary care. I hold a master's degree in public health and am deeply passionate about addressing health disparities in underserved communities. I actively contribute to initiatives aimed at improving overall community health and breaking down barriers to quality medical care. My involvement in a refugee health clinic underscores my commitment to providing essential healthcare services to vulnerable populations. A core principle guiding my practice is health education. I believe in empowering my patients with knowledge to make informed decisions about their physical and mental well-being. By fostering a foundation of trust and open communication, I inspire my patients to embrace positive health behaviors and lifestyles. My areas of expertise include women's health, hypertension, diabetes, and preventive medicine.

I stay healthy and happy by walking, traveling, spending time with my husband and 2 children, and volunteering with my sorority.
