Bio
Dr. Christa Finer is an osteopathic physician at Florida Medical Clinic Orlando Health in St. Petersburg. Her specialty is primary care with expertise including:
- Women's health
- Lifestyle medicine
- Procedures including joint and trigger-point injections
- Geriatrics
She believes in approaching patient care holistically. With a special interest in lifestyle medicine, she looks at each patient as a whole, rather than the individual conditions they may have. She values treating every patient as if they were her family member or friend.
Dr. Finer’s Training
She earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers and her doctorate of osteopathy from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Bradenton, Florida. She completed an osteopathic residency with Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital Family Medicine in St. Petersburg, where she was chief resident.
About Dr. Finer
Dr. Finer is licensed as an osteopathic physician by the Florida Department of Health. She is a member of the American Osteopathic Association, American Academy of Family Physicians and American Medical Association.
She has published research on cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy in the Journal of Noninvasive Vascular Investigation.
She originally attended film school in Los Angeles for screenwriting and had her own script editing business before returning to Florida. She decided to pursue a career in healthcare after helping care for her father before he died.
Dr. Finer has more than a decade of previous experience with a state-licensed counseling service to provide patient assessments, intake evaluations and psychological screenings.
Her path to family medicine was driven in part by her desire for continuity of care with her patients, seeing how they improve and helping them through difficult moments.
Outside of work, she enjoys running, meditating, cycling, kayaking, hiking, travel, pickleball, and spending time with family and friends.

I’m Always Tired. Is Something Wrong with Me?
Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.
