Meet Celina Costa, PA-C
Hi, I’m Celina Costa, a board-certified Physician Assistant and the proud owner of AAA Urgent Care. Originally from New Jersey, I completed my undergraduate studies at Rutgers University before earning my Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies at DeSales University. After graduating, I began my career in an urgent care and primary care setting before moving to Florida in 2019. Since then, I have been dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care at a busy urgent care clinic—an experience that ultimately inspired me to open my own practice.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my career has been the strong connections I’ve built with my patients and their families. During my time at my previous clinic, many patients trusted me so much that they would schedule visits only on the days I was working. They often expressed their appreciation for the way I truly listened, cared, and followed up—even taking the time to personally check in on their recovery after their visit. To me, medicine is more than just diagnosing and treating—it’s about making every patient feel valued and cared for, just as I would want for my own family.
At AAA Urgent Care, my philosophy is simple: every patient deserves to be treated with the highest level of empathy, respect, and personalized attention. I believe that no one should feel like just a number when seeking medical care. Whether it’s a routine visit or an urgent concern, I strive to make each patient feel heard, comforted, and confident in their care.
Outside of medicine, I’m passionate about music and reading, and I have deep roots in my Portuguese heritage. Growing up in New Jersey, I was actively involved in Portuguese cultural events and community gatherings—something that remains close to my heart.
I’m excited to bring my experience, passion, and patient-first approach to AAA Urgent Care. I look forward to caring for you and your family with the same dedication that has always defined my practice.
