I really like Dr. Christensen. He gives me a shot in my shoulder every three months. He always asks me how my cancer is doing & this time he asked about my scans. He says if I need anything give him a call. That is so special to me. Believe me, all doctors don't show that concern. Thanks Dr. Christensen!

Very good visit excellent doctor
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/4/2023
I just visited Dr. Christensen today for ongoing knee pain. Here's my experience: Staff extremely friendly and professional. Physical office was clean and orderly. I was taken back to the room actually before my appointment time and discussed my intake with very little wait time. I needed an x-ray, and was taken for imaging immediately and was back in the room in a few minutes. Only had to wait a few minutes for the Dr. Christensen. He is a good listener; I did not feel rushed when discussing my symptoms with him. He explained the diagnosis, and answered questions I had fully and patiently, and gave me options for treatments. I would highly recommend this practice if you have orthopedic issues.

I cannot say enough how much I appreciate having this dr on my health care team.
