Q & A with Christine Soriano, Seaside's Physician Assistant!
Christine graduated Magna Cum Laude from Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science in 2008, and has been very busy ever since! She worked for 2 years at a Diabetes Specialty Center in downtown Los Angeles, immersing herself in the study of advanced endocrine disease. She's passionate about preventative treatment, health, and non-invasive cosmetic procedures. She joined Dr. Yazdani at Seaside Medical Practice in 2011. Her full bio is available here.
Recently we sat down with Christine to ask a few questions to get to know her better!
Seaside: Christine, what do you like most about working with your fellow Seaside team members?
Christine: I like the fact that there are only 4 of us on the team right now. We work closely together and get to know each other better and better every day. We all are really hard workers and respect each other, so that's refreshing.
Seaside: Give us a sneak peek into your health & beauty regimen. What's one thing you do every day for yourself?
Christine: I drink 2 glasses of water every morning, right when I wake up. I also stretch for 10 minutes and do an hour on the elliptical almost every morning.
Seaside: You've always been involved with charitable organizations. Anything planned for 2012 in your community?
Christine: In February there is a medical mission to the Philippines that I will be missing. The group, Paradise Valley Medical Mission, will be going to several cities around the Philippines and they literally see hundreds of people in each city. The group plans missions every 2 years, hopefully I will be on board in 2014. Since I cannot be there physically this February, I have been involved with fund raising and gathering supplies/samples for the mission.
Now for a few local favorites!
Best lunchtime spot: Al Noor in Lawndale

Best place to unwind after a long workday: Santa Monica Beach!!
Where you would most like to spend a Saturday night: Comedy club
Seaside: We'd love to know what you're reading right now!
Christine: I listen to audiobooks...makes drives shorter, workouts faster... and vacuuming and cleaning the house more fun.
