Rizk, Cristina C

I went into medicine because of my desire to help people. I chose to specialize in orthopedics because of my personal history in athletics and my enjoyment of surgery. In the more than 24 years I've been in this field, I've always endeavored to provide personal and genuine patient care. My goal is that each patient who leaves my office feels as though they were appreciated as a patient and valued as a human being. My wife and I have a son and twin daughters. I enjoy spending time with them, especially if we're able to be in the great outdoors. Many of my favorite activities - tennis, golf, boating, fishing - are all dependent on being outside.

I chose to go into medicine because of my love for science and helping others. I strive to ensure an open, reciprocal relationship with patients to ensure each visit encompasses the patient's unique needs. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my dog.
