What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Christian, and also his very involved sidekick Kellie Shovlin, have made my journey as an amputee the best experience one can have. It is traumatic and a big life affecting health issue. Dr. Christian and Kellie have been excellent in providing honest feedback and, most importantly, sharing the details of what is about to happen, along with answering any and all questions. They are truly the best.
