Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Regular guy
Dr. Christensen has been my physician for over 10 years. He has always exhibited compassion and readily shares his vast knowledge in the name of helping me improve my issues. It is typical that I wait no more than 30 minutes beyond my appointment time, but he makes up for it and my average visit with him sometimes lasts for 60 minutes. I enjoy his talks to me about him having some of the same issues. He is open and aways follows-up promptly after lab tests to discuss. If I need to talk with him, he always gets back to me. He is a great human being and treats me as an equal.

DR. Christensen ha so been my physician for 20 years. He has always been attentive to my health needs and is an exceptional practitioner. He is an “Old School” physician who listens patiently and attentively to your medical problems, and is truly interested in your well-being. If/when you need lab work performed, he always calls you to inform you of the results. I trust him implicitly and highly recommend his medical expertise. Thanks to his excellent care, I am in great health

Attentive to my concerns during exam and personally followed up via ph., a few days after visit, to check on any changes in symptoms. He was thorough and seemed to genuinely care.

Dr Craig Christiansen is unprofessional and unethical. He does not practice health care as a service and although he poses as a kind and caring provider, he is physically and verbally inappropriate. Not only is he unprofessional, but his staff and office reflect an atmosphere of disorganization and less than professional confidentiality. His patient interaction is deplorable and his diagnosis/solution inaccurate causing greater pain, grief and cost. Not recommended.
