Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Christian saw me 2 weeks after a traumatic fall that left me with s very swollen and bruised left calf, knee and quadricep. He looked at my c rays and determined no broken bones. Checked my mobility for possible tendon tears and determined that a cortisone shot and oral prednisone would quickly reduce my swelling to help my healing which he estimated at 4-6 weeks. After one week, my swelling is gone and my bruising is starting to get absorbed. Although i still have trouble walking, he alleviated thecswelling which jumpstarted my healing
