About Christina Tempesta, MD
Since the beginning of my medical training, I gravitated naturally towards intensive care, embracing the continuous learning that pediatric critical care demands. I am captivated by the challenge of rapidly evolving cases, the teamwork required to manage a variety of complex conditions, and the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and their families. I am inspired by the opportunity to walk alongside families during their most vulnerable moments - to offer not just medical interventions but presence, clarity and compassion.
