Dr. Christians's was able to see me promptly-her office staff, scheduler and physician assistant were kind, organized and efficient. Dr. Christians assessed my referral from another specialist and outlined how she would collaborate with him to ensure the best possible result for my cancer resection.

Dr Christensen and her staff were wonderful and explained everything very thoroughly.
Doctor and staff were very kind, courteous, and professional.
Staff in the blood draw area were only fair. Also the personnel calling you in to see the doctor and take blood pressure were only fair. Both of these compared to the excellent care provided by the nurse, nurse practitioner and doctor!

Very warm and friendly as this was our first meeting. I have a very complicated medical history and she was very thorough and knowledgeable. She was very cognizant of my concerns and fears regarding further treatment and tests. I felt involved in decisions for further care. I felt that I was definitely on the "same page" as Dr. Christians for the next steps in treatment of my medical conditions.
