Medicine's Power Couple 

Christina Lohse, MD and James Lohse, MD are not only married to each other, but they are married to medicine as well. They both strive to bring their commitment to healthcare to the Williamson County community, through their individual specialties and passion for healing. Christina is a general pediatrician at Heritage Medical Associates, Westgate location. She has always loved kids, so pediatrics was a natural choice for her and she says that great joy happens when connecting with patients and making them feel comfortable in the office. “The best part of my profession is watching a patient grow from infancy to adulthood,” Christina explains. “The connections are made not only with the patient but also the parents. As cliché as it sounds, our children are our future, and what a blessing it is to be a part of nurturing them into adulthood.”

 

James owns and practices at The Next Level Health, which is a Primary Care Sports Medicine and Concierge Precision Medicine practice in Brentwood. Athletics have always been a part of James’ life and coupled with being passionate about sports injuries and concussion management, sports medicine was a perfect fit for him. The newest addition to James’ practice was born from his desire to be proactive and not reactive with his patients’ health and optimize performance for his higher-level athletes. James incorporates his twenty-five years of family medicine, sports medicine and now precision medicine to provide sports injury care to athletes and preventative health to his patients.
