Verified patient
I don’t know if Dr. Christensen was having a bad day, or if he just saw something about me that he didn’t like. It seems like his other reviews were great, but he spoke down to me during the whole visit and when I had questions he made me feel like I was wasting his time since we ended up not changing my treatment plan. Maybe it just wasn’t the right fit, but I walked away from that appointment feeling pretty terrible. Needless to say I’m not going back to his practice, but I do wish him nothing but the best.
Great office staff and providers who communicate well and do their best to ensure a high level of care. I have had the pleasure of Dr. Christensen as my PCP for the last three years but will be moving out of state soon. I wish I could take Dr. Christensen and his staff with me!
