Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
I was at the OSS surgery center for foot surgery related to arthritis in my upper foot. I was extremely impressed with the overall experience. The nurses were all very friendly and professional. The process of getting me ready for my procedure and the recovery afterwards was very streamlined. If I had to find one negative thing it would be that I wish that Dr Christian didn’t always seem to be in a hurry. However, I understand that he probably was and he did ask if I had any questions. I feel confident that he is a very talented surgeon and knows what he’s doing and honestly, that’s the most important thing to me.

From calling to book the appointment to being wheeled out after surgery, OSS has the most spectacular staff. We immediately felt safe in their office and knew we were in the right hands for an ankle injury. Everyone we ran into showed compassion, we felt heard, and they even address us by name not patient number!
