Hello, my name is Christa Springston. As a board-certified Internal Medicine medical doctor (M.D.), I have a desire to offer improved care for people and their health outside of the conventional healthcare system. HealthSprings Direct was born in 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic opened my eyes to the benefits of telemedicine and the need for more flexibility for myself, my family, and my patients. Increasingly disenchanted with insurance companies’ red tape interfering with my relationships and connections to patients, the Direct Primary Care model of practice seemed a natural progression.

As an advocate for whole-body health, I will help guide you in behavioral, dietary, and habitual improvements to maximize your energy and functionality and prevent life-altering disease processes. I practice medicine based on continually evolving scientific evidence, safety, and efficacy while always considering the entire individual.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Christian University with a bachelor of science in biology, and received my medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2006. I was residency trained at Christiana Care Health System in Newark, Delaware and SSM St. Mary’s Health System in St. Louis, Missouri.

As a military spouse who has moved frequently across the country, I have had the opportunity to experience and hone many different types of medical care. I have worked as a hospital medicine doctor (hospitalist), intensive care unit physician (intensivist), occupational medicine provider, acute and urgent care physician, and primary outpatient Internal Medicine provider.

I am certified to perform Class 1, 2 and 3 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Exams. Continuing education is important to me as a participant in the Maintenance of Certification program through the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Within the community, I volunteer as the medical director for The Healing Bridge Clinic, a non-profit medical clinic caring for the underserved locally. As the medical director for Peachtree City Fire and Rescue, I enjoy working with firefighters, EMTs and paramedics with their medical protocols and procedures through education and training.

Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, I have called Georgia home since 2015. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing Horned Frog football, and especially living and working through Him.
