Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr Christian performed joint fusion on the top of my foot 8 weeks ago. I’ve been very pleased with the entire process so far. He’s very professional and knowledgeable. This last visit, in particular, he made sure I understood his instructions and explained what to expect from here. Obviously, time will tell if the surgery was a success but so far I’m feeling very optimistic.

I was asking for a second opinion from Dr. Christian. He gave me 3 options without pushing surgery as the first option. I appreciate him giving me a less invasive option to try before surgery.

Dr. Christian is a phenomenal surgeon, kind, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns and addressed my needs. I was quickly given a surgery date and received extensive education, so I knew what to expect on the day of and after surgery. I cannot say enough great things about my surgical experience. The registration process was simple and quick. Pre- and post-surgery nurses and anesthesiologists were not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally kind, attentive, personable, and comforting, showing great concern for my well-being throughout the entire process. OSS is a phenomenal facility, clean and well-maintained. I will only recommend this facility to friends or family who require orthopedic care. I am so looking forward to taking off this boot and getting back to normal life again! Dr. Christian, the OSS nurses, and the OSS anesthesiologists are the best of the best!
