Casa Health Collaborative: Personalized primary care from the comfort of your home
Dr. Cristina Woodhouse is a board-certified family physician who will collaborate with you to improve your overall health whether it be weight management, mental health care, or general primary care concerns.
My Approach
Hello, I’m Dr. Cristina Woodhouse. I’m a family physician who began this private telemedicine practice outside of the insurance-run world to be able to provide high-quality, thoughtful care to patients that are tired of the fast-paced world of medicine where insurance rules all. Whether it’s weight loss, mental heatlh, chronic metabolic disease, or other general primary concerns, I am happy to consult with you via video and see how I can help you get what you need.
I am committed to listening to you and answering your questions so that you can fully understand your options and the risks and benefits to each. I have the knowledge and expertise to guide you on your health journey but I also want to collaborate with you because I believe that the best outcomes happen when your priorities and goals are considered and when we come up with a plan together.
All consults at Casa Health Collaborative are paid out-of-pocket only which means I do not take insurance which allows me to operate focused on what’s best for you, not what the insurance company says you can or can’t have. You may still however, choose to use your insurance for medications, labs, and other treatments if you so desire. I am currently seeing telemedicine patients via video who are located in Texas, Florida, New York and Iowa, but may expand to other states in the future.

Why choose Casa Health Collaborative?
Quality Care
Many of the large telehealth companies don’t actually have their patients interact with a doctor or they have very limited, rapid visits that are pushed through as quickly as possible to make a profit. Your visits at Casa Health Collaborative will give you time to ask questions and make sure we find the right plan for you going forward. I will listen to you and help you to understand your body but also the risks and benefits of each treatment option. I am confident you will be satisfied with the care provided and my patient reviews support this (see above) - I am often descdribed as a great listener and very thorough.
Ease
Many patients cannot find time to do an appointment with their in-person doctor or to take time off work for appointments. Casa Health Collaborative has video appointments ranging from 15-30 minutes from the comfort of your home (or wherever else you may be). This often allows patients to do visits over their lunch break, while watching their kids, or at other times that would be difficult to do a conventional in-person appointment
Fewer insurance barriers with cash-pay
Many adults today face barriers to proper care due to insurance restrictions. By going around insurance you can get the care you need without an insurance company questioning or making you jump through hoops. Many patients feel a sense of freedom knowing that they can get what they need without these barriers.
Overall, Casa Health Collaborative provides benefits that many other companies cannot offer. Schedule an appointment today and find out.
