Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
He was personable & positive, but also realistic about the surgery I needed, how it would present logistical difficulties getting around for 6-8 wks after surgery (an issue as i live alone) & what might happen if i don’t get the surgery (permanent loss of use of foot). I didn’t feel rushed during my time with Dr Christian as i have with other physicians or made to feel I wasn’t a candidate because I’m overweight.

I had to visit OSS Urgent Care for tearing my ACL in my knee and he was able to get me listed as urgent to get an MRI to confirm my full tear.
