I went to Dr. Christian for a 2nd opinion after WellSpan had told me multiple times that there was nothing wrong with my ankle. They did 1 X-ray but refused any further testing. I could barely walk and knew something was wrong but felt like I was going crazy and no one would believe me. My 1st appointment with Dr. Christian, he sat and listened to me. I felt like he actually HEARD me and took my symptoms seriously. He did an exam and ordered a MRI. I ended up needing ankle reconstruction surgery. I would highly recommend both Dr. Christian AND Kelly! They are both very knowledgeable, compassionate and in my opinion, the absolute BEST!
