Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Christensen?
I found Dr. Christensen to be professional and was willing to answer questions I posed about the procedure. His surgical skills were above average, and took the time to ensure my comfort. His nursing staff was a different story, as I found them unprofessional and somewhat lackadaisical in support of my surgical prep and checkout.
