      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.
