Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr Christian was recommended to me by a Wellspan administrative Dr because one of their Dr’s, (Dr Hall) did a surgery on my ankle that did not help with the arthritis, I came out of that surgery still having the arthritis and could not walk for 6 months so Dr Christian did an ankle replacement. He is one of the most caring Dr’s I have ever met and knows the latest technology for his specialty.

If you are looking for a fantastic Ortho Doctor/surgeon, this is your guy. This was my first surgery and injury experiance and I'm 35. It was scary at first, but having the right team of people to guide you is everything. I dislocated my ankle and destroyed my tendons at the beginning of December. I had initially seen a Dr at Concentra who thought I just had a high ankle sprain. HA! She had no clue what she was talking about, so I requested to see a specialist. Dr Christian is wonderful. He's very precise and clear about explaining what the issue is and what if any are his concerns. Once we confirmed that I had indeed ravaged my tendons, one to the point where he couldn't find it at first on my MRI. We then decided on surgery. They got me into UPMC within 3 days! Christmas, Eve...Eve. Santa brought me a new ankle for Christmas! I am extreamly greatful that it was so fast because I wanted it done. That way I can have my boyfriend home to care for me over the holiday as well. I'm an ov
