Dr Christensen repaired my deviated septum and reduce the size of turbinates. He did a great job. It is truly life changing to be able to breathe through my nose. Though the entire thing he acted like a caring person instead of just my Dr.

Dr Christensen removed a growth on my thyroid and a part of my thyroid. I think enough of him that I have referred my daughter to him.

After two weeks, three doctors, urgent care, a dental visit, no hearing in the ear and pain that was blinding, Dr. Christensen quickly and kindly diagnosed the problem and started me on the road to full hearing and no pain. Had to wait a little bit but can't complain because I was fit in that day and he immediately apologized for it. I'm always willing to wait for a doctor that's willing to truly listen. I would have waited all day for the relief I felt walking out of the office. Accidentally gave a 1 star review on my phone. Couldn't be further from the truth so had to write a review to make up for it. Can not recommend enough!

I was referred to Dr. Eric Christianson by my primary care Dr and I have been very glad right from the beginning. I had really bad sinus problems and had previous surgery by another Dr one year prior and it did nothing for me except made me worse. Since I have had surgery with Dr Christianson I am like a whole new person. He did a great job and has helped me more than any Dr ever has. His genuine concern and very strong desire to help me was overwhelming. I must mention his staff as well because they are great to. I am very pleased with everything and I am only two weeks into my recovery. He has done a really great job and I highly recommend him. Best ENT I ever.
