Testimonials

What Patients Are Saying

Company Logo
Dr. Christian is a competent surgeon who laid out a plan for me and didn’t sugarcoat the process. He explained achilles tendinitis surgery as a very long recovery including many weeks in a boot followed by physical therapy. Total healing can actually take up to 2 years. I have great respect for him and am glad he consented to doing my surgery. At this point, I am at 6 months past surgery and am trying to keep from having surgery on my other foot.
