Dr. Christina Peretz began practicing medicine in 2006 and is certified by the American Board of Family Physicians and the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine.  Her interest in learning from and engaging within cultures around the world led her to study medicine in Israel at Columbia University’s affiliate medical school, Medical School for International Health.  Within residency at Oregon Health and Science University she completed the Andrew Weil Integrative Medicine Fellowship.   Prior to attending medical school she attained a Master of Science in Nutrition Education from Teachers College, Columbia University and holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of California at Davis.

Dr. Peretz appreciates the intersection of conventional medicine and lifestyle medicine including nutrition, mind-body medicine and spirituality.  She deeply values the unique and complex landscape of each individual patient and aims to develop meaningful long-term relationships that lead toward a deeper connection with health and wellness.  Dr. Peretz understands that medical care is best practiced as a collaboration between the doctor and the patient.  She believes that patients deserve to be empowered to take the lead in their care while providing the education and guidance needed to make informed decisions.

Dr. Peretz found her role as a physician via her personal medical experience in childhood.  She managed her own medical condition with a combination of conventional and alternative approaches.  In this way, she appreciates first hand a patient’s personal journey and how that may lead them toward treatments outside of the standard care model. 

She enjoys working with adolescents, teens, and adults of all ages including geriatrics.  Dr. Peretz grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and is happy to be raising her daughters and caring for patients where she feels most at home.   She is grateful to be able to walk the soulful hills of Marin with her dog and to ride horses with her girls during her free time.
