Meet The Team

Christina Benet
I am a proud mother of two young boys who keep my life full of joy and adventure. I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Master of Science in Nursing, specializing as an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. My journey in healthcare has allowed me to deeply connect with patients, and my passion for improving patient care, particularly in the realm of neurosurgery, has been a driving force in my career.
Originally from Arizona, I moved to the Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village area, where I now call home. My roots in Arizona have shaped much of who I am today, and I continue to cherish the values of hard work and community that I grew up with.
Outside of my professional life, I love to cook for my family—food is my way of bringing people together and creating lasting memories. I also enjoy traveling to new destinations, exploring different cultures, and experiencing the world with my loved ones. In my downtime, I practice yoga to find balance and peace, and I enjoy hiking to connect with nature. Reading is another way I unwind, finding both knowledge and relaxation in books.
One of my greatest passions is enriching neurosurgery education and access to care in the community. I believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge-sharing to elevate patient outcomes, particularly in specialized fields like neurosurgery. I'm committed to making a positive impact on my community by supporting initiatives that promote healthcare excellence and support those in need.
Whether at work or at home, I strive to lead with compassion, curiosity, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
