Dr. Christina Bridges

Dr. Christina Bridges, DPM, a native of San Francisco, California, attended California School of Podiatric Medicine, in Oakland, California. She did her residency training at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka, Indiana. During this program she received diverse experiences in all aspects of the foot and ankle.
