Dr. Christian and his CRNP Kellie Shovlin are by far the Best orthopaedic providers I have encountered, professionally and as a patient. Dr Christian and Kellie have been beside me through a difficult and complicated surgery, ending up with post-op complications, to no fault of anyone, as my body just wouldn’t heal properly. In turn, they made sure they did everything they could, to find solutions for me, until finally I was able to heal and then get back to normal function. 2 years later, my problem has returned, which was always a possibility. Without any hesitation, I immediately knew there are no other providers I would choose to go back through whatever journey is in store for “us” next. I refer to “us” because they genuinely care and want to provide care for their patients to their absolute best ability and will support you through it. They are an amazing team and at the top of the list for best orthopaedic care I’ve been a part of, professionally and personally as a patient.
