Patient Reviews
Sep 05, 2024
Dr. Christein, in our eyes, is professional, skilled and well respected. Our son was in a life threatening situation where he was accepted and then transferred to Dr. Christein’s care at Grandview Medical. Our son was in a grave condition and with Dr. Christein’s care is now back at work and surviving. His staff and support crew were all beyond helpful. Our son continues to be seen by Dr. Christein for follow up surgeries and we can say beyond a reasonable doubt, he comes highly recommended. Thank you!
