About me

Dr. Christina H. Wright is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon who specializes in spinal disorders including degenerative spine conditions, spine trauma, tumors and adult deformity.

She is trained in minimally invasive techniques, open complex deformity procedures, motion preservation and revision procedures, and the use of innovative techniques such as image guidance technologies. Her academic interests include quality/outcomes research and exploring the psychological and mental health aspects of spine health.

In her free time, she continues to play competitive soccer and enjoys cooking, skiing, running and yoga. A transplant from the Midwest, she enjoys spending time with her husband, toddler and rescue mutt exploring Oregon’s parks and beaches.

Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
