Dr. Christina Gomez, D.O., board-certified OB/GYN at Altavida Gynecology in Lutz, FL
Physician Owner
Founder & Gynecologist

Dr. Christina Gomez is a board-certified OB/GYN with more than 16 years of experience and a practice dedicated entirely to gynecology. She practices in Lutz, Florida and serves women across Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, Land O' Lakes and the greater Tampa Bay area.

She founded Altavida to elevate women's healthcare through a comprehensive, deeply personal approach — a boutique-style, concierge experience built around each woman's needs at every stage of life, rather than around the clock.

How she practices

The reason so much of women's health goes unaddressed is rarely that it is hard to recognize. It is that recognizing it requires someone to sit with the whole picture at once — the cycle, the sleep, the mood, the labs, the history — and a fifteen-minute appointment does not allow for that.

Concierge practice is how Dr. Gomez solved that problem. Appointments are long enough to get through the actual conversation, you see the same provider each time, and the thread does not get dropped between visits. It is a structural answer to a structural problem, not a luxury add-on.

What she treats

Dr. Gomez practices general and preventative gynecology alongside a focused interest in hormones and pelvic health.

Hormones, perimenopause and menopause

This is the area Dr. Gomez is most known for locally, and the one patients most often travel to see her about.

Her approach starts from the position that perimenopause is a clinical diagnosis — built from your age, your cycle pattern and your symptoms — rather than something a single lab value settles. Hormone levels swing day to day during the transition, which is why women are so often told their bloodwork is normal while they feel anything but.

Where treatment is appropriate, hormone replacement therapy* — carve-out service, see the Products & Services Disclaimer at the bottom of this page is tailored to your history rather than run from a protocol, and delivery is matched to you — creams, patches, oral therapy or Biote pellets* — carve-out service, see the Products & Services Disclaimer at the bottom of this page. Where it is not appropriate, she will tell you that too. A personal or family history of certain cancers, blood clots, liver disease or cardiovascular disease genuinely changes the calculation, and that is a conversation rather than a form.

Pelvic floor and sexual health

Bladder leakage when you laugh or sneeze, vaginal dryness, and dyspareunia — pain with intercourse — are extremely common and substantially under-treated, in large part because they are awkward to raise in a short appointment with someone you have just met.

Dr. Gomez is trained in advanced non-surgical pelvic floor treatments, including the EmpowerRF platform* — carve-out service, see the Products & Services Disclaimer at the bottom of this pageVTone* — carve-out service, see the Products & Services Disclaimer at the bottom of this page for urinary incontinence, FormaV* — carve-out service, see the Products & Services Disclaimer at the bottom of this page for dryness and comfort, and Morpheus8V* — carve-out service, see the Products & Services Disclaimer at the bottom of this page. Anything surgical or interventional beyond the office is arranged as a coordinated referral.

Where you'll read her

Dr. Gomez writes the clinical explainers in the Altavida Journal — including the guides to perimenopause, menopause weight gain, fibroids and endometriosis. They are written to answer the question a patient actually typed, at the length the answer deserves.

What she's after

Dr. Gomez is passionate about creating an environment where women feel empowered, informed, and supported in making their own health decisions. That is a different goal than simply treating what someone came in for, and it changes how a visit runs — more explaining, more context, fewer instructions issued without a reason attached.

She remains dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the health and well-being of women, and that is the standard the rest of the practice is built to.

Outside the office

Beyond her role as a physician, Dr. Gomez is a devoted wife and a mother of two boys — which gives her a personal understanding that resonates with her patients. Her compassionate, holistic approach to care has earned her a reputation as a trusted provider across the Tampa Bay area.

Questions

Before you book

Is Dr. Gomez accepting new patients?

Yes. New patients are welcome, and your first visit does not require a membership — come meet her and see the practice before deciding anything. You can request a visit online or call the office at 813-733-7300.

Do I need a membership to see Dr. Gomez?

Not for your first visit. To continue with Altavida on an ongoing basis after that, membership is required — it is what covers concierge access, longer appointments, direct communication with your provider, and member pricing on wellness and aesthetic services. Membership works alongside your insurance rather than replacing it, so your medical care is still billed to your plan or paid at published self-pay rates.

Does Dr. Gomez take insurance?

Yes. Medical gynecology — office and virtual visits, screening, labwork and in-office procedures — is billed to your insurance in the ordinary way. Altavida also publishes self-pay pricing for patients who are uninsured or who would rather stay out of insurance entirely.

What does Dr. Gomez treat?

General and preventative gynecology, including well-woman exams, contraception and IUD placement; bleeding and pain conditions such as heavy periods, fibroids, endometriosis and abnormal uterine bleeding; perimenopause and menopause, including hormone therapy; sexual health and reduced libido; and pelvic floor concerns such as urinary incontinence and painful intercourse.

Do I need a referral to see a gynecologist in Florida?

Generally no. Florida gives patients direct access to obstetric and gynecologic care without a referral from a primary care physician, and most plans follow that. Coverage details vary between plans, so it is worth a quick call to your insurer before your visit.

Is Dr. Gomez an OB/GYN? Does she deliver babies?

Dr. Gomez is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Osteopathic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOBOG). Her practice at Altavida is dedicated to gynecology, so she does not provide prenatal care or deliver babies. If you are pregnant and looking for an obstetrician, you will want an obstetric practice for that care, and Altavida is here for your gynecologic care before and after pregnancy.

Is Dr. Gomez a female gynecologist?

Yes. Dr. Gomez is a woman, and so is every provider at Altavida — Kelly Cortes, APRN and Erika Adipietro, APRN. For many women that matters when choosing a gynecologist, and it is a reasonable thing to want.
