I've known Dr.Christian since I was a newborn she has operated on my heart 3 times I would highly recommend her to anyone who has a child that has a heart defect. She's one of the best doctors I've had and makes the top 10 doctors at Vanderbilt in my book.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
