Patient Reviews
Oct 02, 2024
Dr. Christensen is a wonderful doctor, whom have been seeing him for the past 5 years. On my initial visit he took all the time needed to explain everything to me, and was kind, compassionate, and patient. During my procedure he made sure to make me comfortable beforehand and explained the results afterwards. I was most impressed with him, which is saying quite a lot, as I have been in the medical field for 40 years. I have referred several patients to him, and each of them has been pleased with him.
