Dr. Christian is truly amazing. I am recovering from surgery so quick with minimal pain. He was very addressing to all questions and concerns. He always explained the “why” to his recommendations for me and never hesitated to show test results and MRI photos. I cannot thank him enough for making this so easy!

I t was well worth the little inconvenience in the recovery time. I have no pain and I can actually walk a lot better than I could for years. My wife was worried when we retire that I was be in an electric scooter and we couldn’t do much of anything. I’m out of my walking boot going on two weeks and doing quite well thanks to doctor Christen.
