What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Christian is good at what he does, my surgery was excellent. He could work on his interpersonal skills a little. LOL. He left with the door open and I didn't know we were done.

Dr. Christian did a great job of explaining what my son was experiencing, how long it was going to last, and how to proceed to make the best possible recovery. That being said, it was only a broken toe so it wasn't a major injury being addressed. Bottomline, he had great communication with my teenage son and my son trusted what he said to him.

Dr. Christian was the first provider of many that truly and sincerely listened to my concerns. When I suspected something more serious was happening in my ankles, Dr. Christian went the distance to try and find an explanation before simply recommending PT, like everyone I had seen beforehand had done. Turns out, thanks to Dr. Christian's expertise and willingness to go the extra mile, we discovered the root cause of the pain I had experienced my whole life. Although going through surgery to fix the issue was not easy, I am extremely grateful for Dr. Christian for saving me from continual pain. I highly recommend Dr. Christian and his wonderful team!
