What Patients Are Saying

I broke my leg and ankle 2.5 years ago and I've had problems since the first surgery. Dr. Christian is the fourth doctor I've seen about the same issue. He listened to my concerns, he took high end imaging and told me what he thought and what my options are. He asked me a lot of questions about what I have done in the past and what I would like to do in the future. He actually listened to my concerns. Not one of the doctors I've had in the past listened. So that alone says a lot. I am an employee at OSS and I don't get any special incentives for seeing the doctors I work for. I was seeing a different doctor before switching after a lot of thought and back and forth. I'm very pleased and my husband is now speaking volumes about Dr. Christian and hasn't met him in person yet because he is helping me after one visit and no surgeries. I highly recommend Dr. Christian.

Dr. Christian took his time to listen, evaluate and then explain why I was having the intermittent burning pain on the top of my one foot. He explained the cause and gave prescription options to manage the pain while I work on correcting the underlying issue. Dr. Christian was unassuming in manner and took his time and gave my appointment his full attention.
