Dr Heidi Christensen was great. She really values a conservative approach, which I appreciate rather than recommending surgery right away. She took a substantial amount of time talking to me about alternative treatments and a long-term game plan. She really seemed to care about my concerns and addressed them with kindness and compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Christensen for any sports medicine or sports injury needs.

I was totally satisfied with Dr. Christensen and the stuff and would highly recommend them. Everybody was very friendly and Dr. Christensen listened patiently to all my questions to find the right thing to help me.
Verified patient
Heidi was great. She took all the time I needed to go over my condition and concerns. I felt she was thorough in discussing my treatment. She made me feel at ease. My only issue was there was a lot of paperwork to fill out for a new patient. I was there for hip pain, not sure why they needed my entire medical history. I didn't even get through all of it before Heidi saw me. But she was great. Glad Zocdoc pulled her up for me. I didn't know where to start for my pain.
Verified patient
The office was very clean and people were very kind. I really enjoyed my discussions with Dr. Christiansen and I valued her expertise. She listened to me and I trusted her opinion.
Verified patient
Dr Heidi was great. Listened to all my concerns was able to treat me same day. Will be going back to her for future concerns.
Verified patient
Great staff and office. The only thing is I was looking for an orthopedic doctor and ZocDoc suggested this doctor which was not an orthopedic doctor. I am quite disappointed as I now have to go see an orthopedic doctor. I’d like to speak to someone regarding this mistake.
Verified patient
Right on time, friendly and quick.
Verified patient
Everyone from the front desk, to intake, to xray tech, to Doctor were incredibly friendly and patient. My dr. took the time to actually here me out and have a conversation with me to address my concerns. I did not feel at any point like they were trying to rush me out to get onto the next patient. I would absolutely go there again, and I would encourage my spouse and friends to go there, if there needs are within scope of the office. 9.8/10!
Verified patient
Kept calling me back with new discoveries about my X-rays an hour after I left the office. When I wanted clarification about those phone calls I was told I needed to schedule (and pay for) another appointment.
She listened to my concerns about my condition and came up with a plan to go forward And I feel like she actually cared about helping me get better
