<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Christine Green is a board certified family physician practicing in the San Francisco Bay area for over 35 years. Returning patients to excellent health often requires “medical sleuthing.” Understanding the physiology of the body and its interaction with infection (pathophysiology) led Dr. Green to her expertise in chronic vector-borne diseases, including persistent (chronic) Lyme disease. The CDC notes that tickborne disease (TBD) affects more than 500,000 Americans yearly. The vector-borne illnesses that Dr. Green recognizes, diagnoses and treats are relatively new and the scientific evidence is still emerging. She has devoted her time to understand how to best diagnose and treat sick patients and to share that understanding by developing evidence-based curriculum to provide other physicians continuing medical education. Over the past thirty-five years Dr. Green has treated thousands of patients with persistent TBD. She serves on the boards of multiple Lyme organizations, speaks at conferences in the US and Europe, and is currently a director on the board and serves as Education Co-director of Invisible International,. https://invisible.international/ Dr. Green considers the whole patient, the scientific evidence, the clinical evidence and applies best practices on an individual basis. Patient care is her passion, evidence is her foundation, and respect and awe for life is her driver.</span></p>
