“Christina listens. She looks and she sees. To have her as a doctor made me feel heard, seen, and valued; that was the beginning of my getting better. I found both genuine understanding and clever resolution to my peri-menopausal issues which included widely fluctuating hormones (we tracked them daily over two months so I saw the crazy climbing and diving dance they did!) and vaginal atrophy. I was skeptical about hormone replacement but we were able to talk at length and address my many questions and concerns. I always felt in control of my health with Christina as a caring and extremely knowledgeable guide. I feel so much better than I have in years and am looking forward to menopause and beyond!”

“Finding an intelligent and informed menopause provider is sadly very difficult. After lots of research and some trial and error with other doctors, I was thrilled to find Camel City Wellness! Christina is knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring, relatable and up to date on current women’s health medicine and research. In an area of medicine that is behind in most areas, finding Camel City was life changing. Winston Salem is lucky to have this resource for great health care!”

“If you’re looking for a provider who makes you feel seen and heard, and who treats you as a whole person, choose Christina Saldanha to be your provider. She will welcome you into her cozy, inviting office and give you the time and space to share with her as well as learn from her. Choosing Christina to be my primary care provider is one of the best healthcare decisions I’ve ever made, hands down. I’m so glad to have found her — you will love trusting her with your care, too!”

“I got the recommendation to see Christina from a friend who was an existing patient. I was struggling to find help with a complex Long Covid situation and had been dismissed by a number of providers by the time I stumbled into Christina’s office. I have never felt so at ease, not rushed, and heard. I was at a rock bottom point in my health journey and her compassion, availability, and willingness to help me find answers have been integral to my recovery journey. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I began seeing Christina 9 months ago, and from the very first visit, I felt incredibly supported and understood. Christina has a remarkable ability to explain things thoroughly, making sure I understand all the information related to my personal health. What truly stands out is how her guidance aligns with my beliefs, which is something that means a lot to me.”

“Beyond being an exceptional PA, Christina has been like a big sister to me—someone who genuinely cares and someone I’m comfortable opening up to. She played an essential role in my and my husband’s journey to marriage, respecting and honoring our shared beliefs, especially regarding sexual education and planning for our future family. Her compassionate care and dedication make her truly one of a kind.”

“When I came to Camel Women’s Wellness I had a myriad of symptoms related to menopause; hot flashes, weight gain, fatigue, irritability, all of it.  I had talked with my Gyno, my GP, and an integrative MD.  No one could give me an optimistic outlook, I was just going to have to deal with it.  Christina was able to help me not just understand what was truly happening with my body, but also  give me a clear path to addressing the symptoms.  I feel light years better, genuinely more myself.  I wasn’t alone in this, and I am forever grateful.”

“When I first met Christina, I had nearly lost hope about winning my battle with chronic pain. Then she met with me for longer than any other provider I’ve ever had and REALLY listened to gather the FULL picture. Because of her approach to healthcare and her expertise, my quality of life has dramatically improved!! Now I feel free to have hope again because *spoiler alert* I finally have some relief!! My only regret is that I did not find this extraordinary provider sooner!”

“After years of struggling in the traditional insurance rat race of healthcare, finding Camel City Women’s Wellness has changed everything. Not only my physical and mental health but my faith in medical care as a whole. From the first meeting, I felt like I was the only patient – no rushing, no quick diagnosis with a pill to treat a symptom; just a real human being with knowledge about medicine and me. When I have a concern or question, she is easy to reach and always responds with professionalism and, most importantly, empathy.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. She’s like a health detective and personal cheerleader rolled into one. She actually listens, and our appointments are long enough that I don’t feel like I’m on a timer. It’s wild how much of a difference that makes!

I can attest that the membership model is worth every penny of the out-of-pocket expense. My care is between me and Camel City Women’s Wellness, not an insurance broker and an algorithm. The peace of mind from being able to message the person who’s actually taking care of me, instead of waiting on hold for hours or playing message tag with staff who know nothing about my situation, is invaluable.

She’s helped me make small changes to my lifestyle, stress coping mechanisms, sleep patterns, and so much more. Each of these adjustments has had a big impact. I feel seen, heard, and cared for in a way I never have before in a doctor’s office.

If you’re tired of feeling like just another number in the healthcare system, give Camel City Women’s Wellness an opportunity to show you what healthcare can look like. Trust me, your future self will thank you!”

“Christina exceeds all expectations one could have from a provider.  She is attentive, personable, incredibly smart and well versed in her field.  She is dedicated to women’s health and wellness and works with her patients to smash the patriarchal system that is corporate medicine.  If you want to feel seen and heard from your medical provider, I cannot recommend and praise Christina highly enough.  She is the future of women’s health!”

I came to Christina for help with menopause symptoms. I found her to be empathetic and very easy to talk to. I appreciated how she didn’t make me feel rushed like how it normally is in a doctors appointment.

She took the time to listen to all of my symptoms, thoughts and emotions then formulated a plan to attack my symptoms.  I feel so much better now.  I feel like finally I have a health care provider who really cares.

I’ve never felt more seen and heard by a healthcare provider than I have with Christina. I was moved to happy tears when I realized that the seemingly small issues I had been dealing with could actually be addressed—and in ways that previous providers never considered.

Christina is incredibly personable and friendly. She listens with genuine empathy, and you never feel rushed. She treats you as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all my friends who are navigating midlife health concerns. I’ve made her my primary care provider and appreciate that she can refer me to specialists within my insurance network. The choice was easy once I experienced the exceptional level of care and support she offers.

I have been searching for years for a medical provider that would listen to me, believe me, and really see me beyond my weight and actually help me AND on top of all that have time for me. Christina is all that and more! I began seeing Christina earlier this year and I truly value her time and wealth of knowledge. She’s helped me learn more about my PCOS and has also helped me better understand my hormones and cycle. For the first time ever, I actually feel heard by a medical provider. I am immensely grateful for all Christina has already done and no longer have as much fear about my future health because I know I have her in my corner and she will take my concerns seriously. I wish everyone could have a Christina as their provider!

Our family endured over a year of physical, mental, and financial crisis. An uneducated OB/GYN prescribed a medication for hormonal imbalance that resulted in 6 months of sustained mania for a 26-year-old. Menopausal mom underwent a hysterectomy while navigating legal and medical systems to save her daughter and plummeted into clinical depression. After physical safety was established, an interventionist referred Christina to untangle the hormonal chaos. Miraculously, over a year later both mother and daughter are stable and on the way to 100% recovery thanks to Christina’s expertise, compassion, and patient guidance.

“As a local colleague and healthcare provider, it is imperative that I have providers like Christina to refer my patients to. She has helped so many women take charge of their health, make informed decisions about their medications and most importantly ensures that they are HEARD. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate Christina and her practice; I will continue to refer to her as often as I can!”

“Christina’s approach to women’s health is unmatched. There are so many factors that a traditional healthcare provider doesn’t make time for – hormones, mental health, reproductive goals and your stage of life. Christina takes all of these factors into consideration and makes a plan specifically for you.”
