Christopher Johns, MD
Laura Finkbeiner, FNP-C
Dr. Christopher Johns' deep desire to help others, along with a keen interest in biology and science helped him to realize that a career in medicine was in his future. He sustained an injury while playing ice hockey that showed him how significant functional limitations can impact your goals and quality of life.
Dr. Johns attended medical school at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio, where he stayed to complete his residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. He chose this specialty because he realized how important movement was to the overall health and physical, mental, and social well-being of every person, no matter the age or circumstance.
Dr. Christopher Johns believes in “the power of positivity and adherence to the golden rule”. His approach to care is to “treat your patients like family and remember that you are treating a person, not a symptom Everyone is unique and their medical plan should be tailored accordingly to provide for the best possible outcome.”
During his personal time, he enjoys an active lifestyle—weightlifting, hockey, golf, bike-riding, and boating. Dr. Johns’ professional interests include regenerative medicine, which includes amniotic fluid, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell therapy. His wealth of knowledge in this area will be a major resource, and we are enthusiastic about his valuable contributions.
Mrs. Finkbeiner is a native of South Dakota, where she was raised on a ranch. She went to college and lived in Sioux Falls, with her husband, until she made Arizona her new home 6 years ago.
Being a caregiver came naturally for Laura, starting from her first position as a certified nursing assistant in a skilled nursing facility at the age of 16. She continued to pursue her education in this field, where really enjoyed her time as a nurse. She values those experiences and feels that it gave her a great foundation in patient care. However, she wanted to be able to provide more for her patients and thought that becoming a nurse practitioner would give her that opportunity. She also wanted to be able to be in a career that would allow her to develop long-term relationships with her patients. Her previous experience includes several years in family practice in the Tri-City area.
Laura believes that a partnership with her patients to address their healthcare needs provides the best outcomes. Her goal is “to meet my patients where they are in their physical, mental, and emotional
needs and to work together to develop a care plan.”
In her free time, Laura enjoys reading, a good cup of coffee, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and dog. You may find her seeking new adventures while hiking, camping or traveling.
Her thorough and compassionate care makes Laura a greatly appreciated new member of our team. Please join us in welcoming Laura Finkbeiner, FNP-BC, to our CAPI family.
