Christina Papantonakis, MD
Pediatric Pulmonology
Board Certified
Care Philosophy
I have been practicing at Children's Hospital Colorado in Colorado Springs since 2017. I have the opportunity to care for children with many different breathing concerns. My patients are from all over Southern Colorado and New Mexico, ages range from newborn to late teens. I am so lucky to be a part of the supportive Colorado Springs community.
Clinical Interest for Patients
Throughout medical school and pediatric residency, the pediatric pulmonologists always were very happy and really seemed to love their jobs. When I did my first rotation with pediatric pulmonary in my first year of residency, I found that as a pulmonologist, you get to work all over the hospital and have close continuity with your patients throughout their lifetime in the clinic. I also fell in love with doing bronchoscopies during residency and then continued to grow that interest since fellowship.
