Every time I’ve been to a OSS everyone is so kind and pleasant you don’t feel like you Are in a cattle chute! I really appreciate it Dr. Christian for not jumping into surgery on my first visit. We tried several things before we went to that process.

Dr. Christian successfully performed a complex surgery on my lower leg, after I had suffered a severe pilon fracture, without having to fuse the ankle, which allows for a much better quality of life. He was an absolute professional and thorough throughout this long process. His timeline for repair and recovery was spot on and he answered any and every question that was posed. We are very fortunate to have such a specialist in this area and I couldn’t recommend him more. Side note - Nurse Practitioner Kellie Shovlin was also amazing in support.
